If you believe that you will find it to be personally traumatizing, please contact me. By midnight on Sunday, Week 5, please record a reflection in the Flipgrid online platform using the video or audio only option for recording. Within the reflection, address the following points:

HIST 2310 “Early World History .”

One will compose a 6-8 page paper focusing on one area of the world that your textbook, The Human Journey, Vol. I A Concise Introduction to World History, by Kevin Reilly, discussed. The seven areas are: The Middle East; Africa; Europe; China; India; the Americas; and Pacific (Polynesia)

Having picked your area, thoroughly read about the coverage of your area throughout the book; then, use that as your base for discussing your area’s development, and importantly, how it interacted with OTHER areas. YOU MUST ANSWER ALL OF THE PROMPT QUESTIONS BELOW:

1.) Did the area you picked experience variety, diversity of beliefs, and practices? Give examples, explaining why or why not there was diversity. Was there a geographic pattern to these differences – explain. What role did cities play – or not play – in your area?

2.) Did your area “butt heads” with other areas, or rather , was there a mutually beneficial relationship…or even a combination of these two phenomena? Discuss. I am especially interested in how your area connected to other areas.

3.) Discuss in your essay the spread of religion(s) within your area…and even beyond your area. Who carried the religion outwards? priests? trader – businessmen? or who?

4.) Discuss the social and political trends of your area, being sure to tell how power and prestige were structured in your area. For example, what power or prestige did soldiers, priests, scholars, and business people have in your area.

Diversity, Inclusion, and Communication

Diversity, Inclusion and Communication WK 9-10 Must post first. Sometimes when we are in school learning advanced concepts, things can seem a bit abstract until we are able to see or experience concrete examples. The link below is a short talk by Ricardo Fernandez, a Spaniard, who leads a team of up to 30 people from several different countries, and the communication challenges associated with this international remote working team. He is not an expert, nor an academic, but he has the kind of practical experience that is useful for a discussion…and for your potential similar encounters.
Ricardo Fernandez on remote international teams (13:14)
After reviewing the video consider the following:

• Evaluate the video for the communication skills needed for success in managing a global environment.

• Evaluate video for the relationship-building skills needed for success in managing a remote team.

• Analyze how cultural diversity and specifically inclusion impact effective management communication. In the context of managing different cultures, ages, and genders what modes of communication seem most effective in managing people? Provide examples; for instance, would texting the terms of a new contract be the best way to communicate with a 60-year-old Japanese customer?
