Summarize the link about the Chinese language.
How many characters does one need to understand in order to read Modern Standard Chinese?
Now compare that to how many characters one needs to know to read Modern Standard English. Hint: how many letters are there in the English language?
How does this relate to the assigned reading from the text this week–what theory best explains this?

Movie Clip
You just viewed a scene from the film “Presumed Innocent” starring Harrison Ford. Ford’s character is a prosecutor and he is accused of committing murder.
Suddenly the colleagues he has been friends with for years are trying to send him to prison. In this particular scene, a pre-trial motion is being heard before the judge. What is being decided is whether something Ford said, out of anger, to one of his colleagues is admissible in court.
Relate what the text says about dialects to the statement “Yeah, your right” as it is being dismissed by the judge.
How does one know the meaning of the actual words versus the “real” meaning intended? Explain in detail.

The Language We Learn Can Influence Our Brain Development
Studies suggest that differences in brain development may play an important role in intercultural communication. It has long been known that many non-western cultures do not stress logical reasoning. Children growing up in western cultures are taught to think and reason along the principles of induction and deduction, to break things down into their parts, to focus on details and important aspects of a matter, and also to understand underlying cause and effect relationships.
Non-western cultures tend to take in the overall picture and do not attempt to analyze. People learn to give proper consideration to all variables considered together. This means that they do not overlook background or secondary elements, which westerners could and would immediately rule out in their hurry “to get down to basics,” or “to find the facts that count.” This holistic perception of the world also takes into account feelings and associated emotions. An Asian or Native American could look at a landscape scorched by the hot sun and feel the suffering of the plants and animals. Other cultures making use of a holistic approach to viewing the world or to solving problems include Hispanics and African-Americans.
Whether one is linear or holistic in thinking depends partly on (brain) hemisphericity. Deduction, induction, mathematical reasoning, analysis — in general, what we call a linear and direct approach — are processes lateralized to the left hemisphere; holistic thinking, blending in with nature, feeling an overall effect, letting sights, sounds and smells build an overall picture involve processes lateralized to the right hemisphere.
Relate this to what the text says about Organizational Patterns.

In 3-5 years from now, where do you envision yourself? What kind of organization will you be working for?
What is the vision of this organization? If you do not know, what would you want it to be?
Why is it or why is it not important to work for a company that follows its vision?
Does this organization align with your personal vision?

Article Title: Exploring the Impact of Socialization Processes on Children’s Learning
This commodity delves into the intricate dynamics of socialization processes and their profound influence on children’s education. It comprehensively examines the significant roles played by various factors such as family, school, peers, mass media, public opinion, and religion in shaping individuals’ socialization experiences. It highlights how these forces, often beyond individuals’ immediate control, shape their identities and perceptions of the world around them. Extremely insightful is the exploration of how inequalities in socialization processes can impact academic success, prompting critical reflections on the role of the education system and other socializing agents in promoting equal opportunities for all. The article emphasizes the crucial role of the family as the primary transmitter of values and underscores the importance of parental awareness and guidance in navigating the influences of peers, mass media, and changing religious landscapes. Overall, this scholarly work underscores the collective responsibility of adults in fostering a supportive environment for children’s socialization and educational development. It emphasizes the pivotal role of each socializing agent in maximizing the educational potential of children, highlighting the importance of parental engagement and proactive involvement in shaping their children’s educational journey.
In contemporary society, the significance of religion in the lives of children and adolescents has been diminished. It’s imperative for parents to acknowledge that each of these influential factors in socialization significantly contributes to shaping the educational experiences of our children. Failing to recognize and actively engage with these agents of socialization amounts to neglecting our duty as adult role models for both our own children and those of future generations.
