PYGMALION EFFECT.


What is expectation? In own words are what someone wants about something. Goals, behavior and thins related whit the personality could be involved in expectation. How the people should be? , How I should be? , what can you do? , what can I do? Are questions linked with the topic that we are developing during the lecture and also is a topic that should be considered everywhere because it refers that the people has a special way to achieve goals towards the support and feeling supported by others.

From the beginning everybody wants something for the future of someone, the parents want that his baby could be a professional and successfully in the job with a great family and things like that, things that the parents could thing. Another example is that: if you practice a sport, the trainer always think that you are capable to do the specific labor, been faster, shot the ball, jump, and things that the players should do. As those examples, we could say many, the real thing is that for some people you are capable to do something special and it means that the person should make the best effort to achieve the challenges of others that maybe are the same goals that the person has.

Those things explained before in examples are exposed in journals and magazines as a special and important thing in the “perception on the quality of the human relationships and organizational performance” exposed in the journal of management development in the web page. (Taken from http://www.emeraldinsight.com/journals.htm?articleid=1852650&show=abstract ). As organizational is possible to understand that inside the corporations or industries the human relationship between employees, managers, crew members and owners are important to believe that the team can do the right thing and been successful in the organizational capacities.

As the good feelings and ways of think about something or someone should develop a positive effect in the others, in the same way been negative about something will things happen negative because unconsciously if you think that you can’t achieve something, when you try to do that, you won’t do properly, or if in your mind someone cannot do something unconsciously you will be unconfident to that person and he or she won’t be comfortable doing what has to do.

Also it could affect the way of life. When a person has problems in any of the life ambits, could happen that he thinks that everything goes against and reading papers, listening news or just talking, the thing that is going to listen or read could be a new problem to him. It happens when in the mind you are already pre disposed and the mind will create a background where everything goes against you.

This is a summary of the effect with examples:

Our belief influence in our action: when you think and believe that everybody has to be “normal” as the common of the people, for example if you think that gay people are different, your actions could be been indifferent or reject them because you believe and thing that they are wrong.

Our actions impact other belief: if you work in company as a boss of a group of people and you always tell them that they are bad or just not so good, when they prepare something for you, they won’t do the best effort because they know that you won’t be happy with the job that they developed, because you act as a intransigent boss.

Other belief cause other actions: in the religion, if the people think that doesn’t exist someone superior that could create the word, they will act as if the world were created by science or something different and they won’t do things as the people that believe in superior forces do as pray.

Others actions reinforce our belief: what others do will reinforce our belief because if we think that it is wrong we will continue thinking in what we believe and if we think that what they do is normal nothing will change the way of think.

Conference: "“Dealing with cultural differences” dimension masculinity


Answer to the question #1

Analyzing the conference of Nick B. Mayer “Dealing with cultural differences” was possible to understand different things related with management and the problems that the cultural differences could cause. Based on religion, customs of the people could change and based on the customs is how sometimes negotiations, politics, business or just the relation between two people may suffer problems and create new enemies.
From that analysis and taking in account the dimensions studied and developed by Hofstede and those that were explained with statistics by Mr. Mayer were possible to defined that it is involved in the common development of each kind of society and is introduced In the way of haw is necessary to handle a relation with many cultures to have successful.
From now, having as a base the masculinity vs. feminist dimension, is possible to say that according to what Nick B. Mayer says in the conference “dealing with cultural differences” , the men represented the masculinity think more in achieve and be success and the woman represent the idea of care in others and have a quality life. From that point of analysis and knowing that In Latin America just from few years ago the genders has the same or almost the same participation in the society is possible to understand that the man still been more powerfully and accepted in terms of official things than the famine gender.
The example is the thing that happen in Brazil, the numbers said that in education attending the school, the woman has been increasing the attendance science they became a democratic country, the thing is that even with a better attendance, the woman by 1991 just accounted less than 40% of the labor force (taken from the international business wiki, online, http://internationalbusiness.wikia.com/wiki/Femininity_vs._Masculinity)
If they are having more attendance to the education, they have to be the strongest power force in the percentage of workers.
That’s a common example of how is handle this region of the world, where the power is centralized in men, where politics are related with men unless nowadays have been appearing women presidents.
“Countries show a gap between men's values and women's values” as is explained by Greer Hofstede (taken from http://www.geert-hofstede.com/ ).
It means that has different priorities how was explained at the beginning of this post and also cultures has differences in the way of treat the genders. Islam’s where woman doesn’t has participation, Europe where has participation or Latin America where the countries start with the inclusion but still having the position of the men as the main important.
