Sally, Roda, Yousef and Nasser were assigned as a team by their instructor. They have a project to work on for 2 weeks.  They met 5 times so far, and it seems that everything the team discusses becomes an argument. Yousef keeps accusing Sally of being late and careless. Roda agrees with Yousef and thinks Sally is putting useless effort on the research. Nasser on the other hand is supporting Sally's perspective by being flexible and supporting her approach to the team.

You recently returned from a trip to Berlin, Germany. You were there from April 1st to April 4th for a conference on World Tolerance. Before you left Abu Dhabi, on March 30th at 3:30pm, you called your bank, ADCB, and informed the bank that you were traveling and to ensure your credit card would not be blocked in Germany. The bank thanked you for the call, said the card would not be blocked and wished you a pleasant trip.

Story About Your Trip in Berlin

When you arrived in Berlin at 9am on April 1st, you got a taxi at the airport and took the taxi to the hotel. You paid 30euros for the trip with your credit card.  Then you checked into the hotel at noon without problems because you booked and paid for the hotel online before your trip. At 1pm, you decided to go for a walk around Berlin before the conference started the next day.  You saw a cute little tea-shop and decided to buy packages of tea for your family and friends. You took your packages to the counter and tried to pay.  You were horrified to find out your credit card would not work.  You have enough credit on your card and there shouldn’t be anything wrong.  You are so embarrassed because you can’t pay for the tea and everyone in line is looking at you. On top of that, you now have 3 more days in Berlin and you can’t access money because your card is blocked.  

You run back to the hotel and call the bank. They confirm your card is blocked because you are in Germany. You explain that you called before your trip to make sure this would not happen. The bank said, “We are sorry for the inconvenience.  There is nothing they can do at the time”. The bank said it would take 3-5 business days to fix the mistake, but that is too long.  You are stuck in Berlin without any money.

This means you have to take food from the hotel breakfast buffet and hide it in your room for dinner. You need to eat the snacks provided by the conference for your lunch.  You must refuse invitations to lunch because you know you can’t pay. Also, you must ask someone at the conference for 10euros to take the subway back to the airport.  You are absolutely humiliated.  You couldn’t do anything in Berlin because you couldn’t access your credit card.  

You are so angry at the bank! Your trip was ruined.  The only thing you could do in Berlin is to attend the conference and walk around the city and look at the stuff you couldn’t buy. You get home and decide to write a business letter to the customer service manager, Anke Kuse, at ADCB.  The bank is in Abu Dhabi at the Airport Road Branch. The PO Box is 55567. You want the bank to refund your flight to Berlin and provide 5000aed in damages because their mistake ruined your trip. The total is 12400aed.  

This is your Abu Dhabi mailing address. You live in AlBateen in Villa #27 on 17th Street.

The top-down approach is/can be the most effective way to implement change in any organization. I say can be because the management team has to be right because with the wrong managers in place then the change that the organization is trying to go through will be far more difficult to handle. If the senior managers do not feel that they can rely on some of the lower management, do you think they could experiment with a variation of the bottom up method?

In King’s speech, he claimed: “America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned.” Then proclaimed: “So we have come to cash this check…” Most people recognize that he was not talking about money, but he was talking about certain human rights that should be granted to all U.S. citizens. Discuss at least two of those rights and comment on the extent to which you believe those rights have been provided for citizens of color in today’s America. Provide reasons and examples to support your view. Most people who have heard or read this speech agree that it is eloquent, passionate, and persuasive. Could a moral relativist have been as eloquent and persuasive? Provide a rationale for your views
