GLOBE comprised 170 researchers in 62 societies over 11 years. The research teams stated objective was To determine the extent to which the practices and values of business leadership are universal (i.e., are similar globally), and the extent to which they are specific to just a few societies.The team is attained this objective. GLOBEs findings present to us all a breakthrough in our ability to think about business leadership in a way that is accurate, action-oriented, and most importantly genuinely global.Any organization that devotes resources to developing global leaders now has within its grasp the data and the guideposts to accomplish this critical goal. Its now possible with unprecedented confidence to assess, develop, and measure top leadership talent in a way that captures the full meaning of global.The first report from the GLOBE team was an 818-page book by R.J. House et al., Culture, Leadership, and Organizations, published by Sage in 2004; this précis addresses the 2004 publication only. A second report of the GLOBE team was published in 2007 (note). A third report is in press. The other three articles at Grovewell.com/GLOBE (total 8,500 words) provide all those responsible for leadership development with an overview and interpretation of the findings reported in 2004.The first question addressed by the team was which measurement standards (independent variables) to use to be precise about the similarities and differences among various societal and organizational cultures. Their efforts yielded nine cultural dimensions that serve as their standard of measurement.Performance OrientationUncertainty AvoidanceHumane OrientationInstitutional CollectivismIn-Group CollectivismAssertivenessGender EgalitarianismFuture OrientationPower Distance

Which caste benefits the most from the social hierarchy in India? Which caste operates at the bottom of the social hierarchy?
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9nfEES8CjQjeFNIRHVBejZJMGs/view?resourcekey=0-bRVfZbABg1SLihbGevrKIgAfter watching, post your answers to the following questions on the discussion board:Part I: Which caste benefits the most from the social hierarchy in India? Which caste operates at the bottom of the social hierarchy? What is another name for the lowest caste? Why do they have this name (i.e., what do members of higher castes belief will happen if they touch members of the lowest caste)? Under the caste system in India, how was ones social position determined (i.e., recalling chapter 5 of your text, is ones social position under the caste system achieved or ascribed)? How are peoples lives shaped by the caste to which they belong? What kinds of occupations are common among the lowest caste? Even though the caste system was formally outlawed in 1949, the practice continues to shape peoples lives in tremendous ways, particularly in the more rural regions of India where tradition and cultural beliefs remain strong. Why, even after it has been formally outlawed, do you believe some people still accept this social system?Part II: From a sociological standpoint, describe how the caste system in India is similar to the class system in the US. How do ascribed/inherited characteristics such as race/skin color, ethnicity/nationality, gender, and family background or social class shape the social positions of individuals in the US? Although formally outlawed, do you think the legacy of racial stratification in the US continues to impact peoples lives today, similar to how the legacy of the caste system impacts peoples lives in India still today?As you respond to your classmates posts, consider the cultural differences evident in the film. How would you feel about living in society operating under a closed system of stratification? Would you feel the system was fair? Why/why not? Should ascribed characteristics shape the opportunities available to us and/or influence our ability to experience upward social mobility?

The juvenile defendant to be sentenced in one case grew up in a desperately poor family, according to school records. He had a part-time job in a local grocery store, stocking the shelves and providing general cleanup. The store owner caught him stealing meat. Actually, this is the second time he has been caught stealing food. The first time he shoplifted at the store, the deferred adjudication included his commit- ment to work for the store owner.

In general, failure to succeed at deferred adjudication results in a commitment to a juvenile facility. What would you recommend to the judge
