With adopted critical reading and writing skills from this semester, I found pure ease in interpreting Patricia Hill Collins' essay, "Toward a New Vision." Hill's message became quite obvious early on, starting with the quote, "While many of have little difficulty assessing our own victimization within some major system of oppression, whether it be by race, social class, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity, age or gender, we typically fail to see how our thoughts and actions uphold someone else's subordination" (Collins). There is clear flaw in subordinating an individual; for man is equal and should be treated as though they are. A person treated as a lower rank or position is clear degradation, and in no way of this word should justifying this action be allowed.…

Reading Carol Carter’s story: Write Your Own Success Story, it is a really good way of getting motivated to change the laziness ways that every student has. What she says is that leaving apart procrastination and attending our priorities in time will make the difference in our future. Carter gives an idea of in what way to turn once we are in college or working. Believing in yourself, planning and knowing which are your weaknesses and strengths so you can work on them, are the keys of writing your own success story. Nothing is luck but effort, as Carter´s said: “Nothing happens magically. lf you want to be a success, you are going to have to take personal responsibility for your life.” And “While successful people may appear lucky, they, in fact, illustrate the maxim that "luck favors the prepared mind."” So, in the real success life, luck has nothing to do. Luck is for improvised people. Real success is the result of constancy required, responsibility, effort, organization and balance. Nothing´s more important achieve a goal than taking action. Wishing something with all your heart will be the trampoline to make it happen. No matter how many obstacles you have, if you make mistakes they´ll teach you well to be better. But we may start now to make decisions, to make mistakes, to ask questions, to be curious, and the most important: to learn. For me, reading and writing all this is a good way to say to myself: I can do it. I have the opportunity to be here in a good college, having the best education I can have, I have support from people I care who give me advices, constructive criticism, and who tell me to stop worrying and instead start doing. So from now on, success depends only on me. I put my head in the prize I want, and that´s what I´m going to get once I have done all the work that is needed to get there.…
The most significant problem in the case of Karen Leary and Ted Chung is the fact that Karen Leary failed to fully educate herself on the fundamental aspects of Taiwanese culture and communication when seeking to develop the Taiwanese market by hiring a Taiwanese financial consultant. Culture, according to the text, is a set of beliefs and values about what is desirable and undesirable in a community of people, and a set of informal and formal practices to support the values. After interviewing Chung eight times, Leary noted that she still didn't feel like she knew the whole person, but wrote it off to the fact that he was Asian and she was not. As a manager it was her responsibility to be aware of the implications of the cross cultural differences and address them accordingly. It is apparent after reading the case that although Karen Leary was an effective manager that led her branch toward many impressive successes, she lacked cultural intelligence, which is the ability to interpret cross cultural situations accurately.…
