The story “The Deer at Providencia” begins with four North Americans in the jungle of Ecuador. Three of the other North Americans are metropolitan men; our narrator is the only female in the group. As they made their way from riverside villages to the next, they came across a village called Providencia. There they saw an “awful” sight, a poor helpless deer tied to a tree. Its limbs caught in the noose around its neck. Its malnutrition body limped on the ground. The deer was caught just earlier that morning, and would be prepared for dinner that night. For fifteen minutes the travelers and village people watched as the “poor” animal thrashed for its life, trying to free itself, without success, the travelers proceeded to eat lunch. Here they were given a type of stew of meat in shreds and rice. When our narrator asked what kind of deer was tied to the tree, she was answered “Gama.” They were also told that the stew they were eating was Gama as well. The narrator went on to say that the meat was very good, and was surprised by the tenderness of the meat. The three men were surprised by how our narrator was able to watch the “awful” event earlier that day without making an expression. The story then switched, and our narrator is now at home. As she combs her hair in front of the mirror there is a photograph from a newspaper taped to her mirror. It reads “Alan McDonald in Miami hospital bed.” He was a burn victim, for the second time. He was burnt thirteen years ago by flaming gasoline. Now thirteen years later he is a burnt victim once again from gunpowder this time. Alan McDonald asked from his hospital bed “Why does God hate me?”(p714) His wife concludes to the piece with “Man, it just isn’t fair.”(p714) Unfairness happens in life, people and animals alike suffer, and that is just how life is. How you continue living is what matters.…
ter3. If you were Chuck, what would you have done differently? What steps would you take at this point to make sure the supply of the popular new toy is sufficient to meet the anticipated demand? In this situation, due to the quickly approaching deadlines, it would have been ideal for Chuck Moore to fly down to communicate face to face with Vicente. If this was not possible, Chuck should have then used video conferencing as the means of communication because this option would have allowed for immediate two-way feedback, personal focus for the communication, direct experience, and multiple information cues. Once Chuck received the email from Vicente’s secretary, he was furious as the e-mail failed to answer all of his questions. Instead of letting his emotions get the best of him, he should have video-called Vicente personally to clear up the matters at hand. By doing so, he would have avoided the communication conundrum between Michael Sato and the Mexican subsidiary’s president. When Chuck communicates whether that be via telephone, video-call, or face to face, he needs remember that it’s not all what he says, but how he says it. According to John Baldoni, CEO of Baldoni Consulting, when communicating, it is imperative to choose a level the reciprocant can connect on.1 It is important to be patient, considerate, and to always know that communication is two-sided; when someone is speaking the other needs to be listening. About 75 percent of effective communication is listening; most people spend only 30 to 40 percent of their time listening, which leads to many communication errors. As a manager, Chuck Moore needs to establish the channel of communication that Vicente uses to communicate information. This would mean figuring out with Vicente what channel would work best for them both. Carlos Serven, explained, “When companies in different countries decide to do business with each other, they need to understand right from the beginning that their cultures are…
