    The document contains responses to two questions about culture in multicultural organizations. For the first question, the response explains that cultural contrasts allow for more innovative solutions to problems by bringing together diverse ideas and perspectives. As an example, it describes a situation where students from different backgrounds worked together to find alternative props for a school event after the original props disappeared. For the second question, the response discusses how individualistic cultures that emphasize personal goals over group goals can negatively impact work processes. It provides the example of a group leader who focused on their own tasks and did not help or support other group members who were struggling.

    Questions:
    1) In your perspective, what is the importance of contrast in culture among multicultural
    organizations? Cite a situational example to support your answer.

    The importance of cultural contrast among multicultural organizations, in my opinion, is


    that there are typically more similarities than differences among them. Despite the
    many similarities that humans have, there are also certain distinctions, particularly in
    terms of culture. The significance of it is that it allows people from all backgrounds to
    contribute ideas and mindsets.
    in contrast to others, it will aid in the development of innovative solutions to a single
    problem, as well as the identification of new ideas that will benefit everyone. For
    example, while preparing for the school's impending event, the props they had prepared
    vanished. All they have left are some cartons, newspapers, plastic bottles, and art
    supplies such as paints, brushes, and glue. Some students start to panic and suggest that
    they should just cancel the event; others report it; and yet others suggest that they just
    use the things that are left over for their new props for their event. This example
    demonstrates that within a group of diverse individuals, someone or some individuals
    would think up and propose fresh ideas and solutions to their difficulties.

    2) As a Filipino, cite an example based on a category or dimension of culture that explains


    how it impacts work processes in a tourism and hospitality organization (e.g., hotel,
    airline, restaurants, etc.).

    It will describe how culture effects work processes in a Tourism and Hospitality
    Organization based on the Categories of Culture under the Problems Arising from
    Relationships with Other People. As a Filipino, a student, and a potential employee in
    Tourism and Hospitality Management, the example I will give falls under the following
    categories. Individualistic Culture. Individualistic cultures place a great emphasis on
    personal performance over group goals, resulting in a strong sense of rivalry. For
    example, at a school, there are some group activities that need some leaders. The role
    of the leader is to be clear about what the group will do and to assist his/her individuals
    every time they have some worries or problems related to the activity they will do. Now,
    the appointed leader, instead of assisting his/her members who were left behind or did
    not get the instructions for the activity, just left them unanswered. When s/he is
    finished with his/her part, s/he just abandons his or her groupmates. In relating to this
    scenario in a tourism and hospitality organization, the head of the group will just tell
    them the guidelines and what they are going to do.
