Format:  Use the block letter format in Figure A-3 in Appendix A; develop a letterhead for the hypothetical company

Length:  2 pages (not including bibliography)

References:  Provide at least 3 footnoted or parenthetically cited references, and a bibliography. Use the text, Chapter 7, as one of your references.

Potential audience:  Your primary readers will be the company CEO and the VP for Human Resources (HR), who is responsible for cross-cultural training and orientation.   

Background and Scenario:  The scenario for writing assignment #1 continues. The company CEO has read your memo and wants you to continue your research, now focusing on the cultural considerations of doing business in the country. 

TASK:

Read three or more sources that have information on the country’s values, beliefs, and other cultural considerations as they involve business communications.

Explain in a letter what you have learned about how oral, non-verbal, and written communications practices in the country may affect business operations, social contacts, shopping, and other considerations if the company decides to move an operation to that country. Recommend any training or special preparation that you think employees should receive before representing the company in that country. 

Use diagrams, photos, and other visuals where appropriate to increase your readers’ interest and understanding of non-verbal and other communications practices.

REMINDER:  Use the hypothetical company and the country you selected for writing assignment #1 (Memo with documented research).

Hi, need to submit a 500 words essay on the topic Find an article about weather (within the last 2 years 2012-2014) and summary the article.

However, with plate movements, comes climate change. This can explain the reason it has become challenging to predict weather and in this case El Niño and La Niña. Global warming in turn is causing melting of the ice sheets, movement of the magnetic pole and the following rise in sea level could bring about an effect on the distribution of mass on the Earths surface (278). This paper seeks to relate the themes of movement, Human-Earth –relationship, and weather in relation to geography. The fickle El Niño of 2014 written by NASA/Jet Propulsion Laboratory will be the article under analysis.

Science Daily recently did a feature article on the prediction of another El Niño occurrence in the west America region in 2014. This article is based on information from journals, other organizations such as NASA and as well as universities. According to the article, there were high hopes of another cycle of El Nino in the region, which is mostly a dry area. Earlier in the year hopes were raised as from February through to May when a chain of larger atmospheric west wind burst triggered an earlier series of Kelvin waves (NASA/Jet Propulsion Laboratory, para 1). The situation was short lived though as the warming of the eastern equatorial Pacific by the Kelvin waves dissipated, interfering expectations for an El Niño this year but these latest Kelvin waves have appeared, reviving hopes for a late arrival of the event.

Measurements of sea surface height are a prime indicator in predictions of El Niño and La Niña which have become a part of the long-term, changing condition of global climate (NASA/Jet Propulsion Laboratory, para 2). Climatologist Bill Patzert is convicted that it is too early to be certain for sure. However, he would not be shocked if the current Kelvin waves are the signal for this much-hoped-for El Niño (NASA/Jet Propulsion Laboratory, para 4).

One of the themes of Geography, Human-Earth -relationship, seeks to explain the
