1.Summary

2.Identification of the problem(s)/plight

2.1. The problem

The main problem of this enterprise is that it is an American and west European company in an west Indies region. The racial problem is obvious. The man who is wanted to come in the front of this Barracania branch, Rennalls, has a lot of political influence ' by being the son of the minister of finance and economic planning ' and is also the most fit for the job ' studied at London University where he had taken first-class honors in the BSs engineering degree, but has only one defect, he is a local.

The person who must promote this young man is John Baker, an english expatriate who has been working in this domain for several years. The mistake made by Baker is huge. During the interview he insults Rennalls by saying that his people do not have as much experience in commerce as the europeans and the americans do.

2.2 Negative effects

The father of Rennalls occupies an extremely important position in the Government. He also felt offended by the words of Baker and has the power to stop the company’s activity in Barracania.

2.3 Causes

By wanting too much to connect with Rennalls and to find out about his racial consciousness, John Baker made some big mistakes.

The issue of the racial discrimination is extremely sensitive in this case.

Another cause of this conflict is the fact that Baker forgot about the position that Rennalls father occupied and acted as a foreign that only tries to prove that Barracanians are inferior.

3. Alternative solution

Solution A

Mr. John Baker should remain in charge due to the rough discussion that determinate Mr. Rennalls to resign. This will not be accepted by the European, who by his culture would not consider himself guilty for the interview that went wrong. In this way, The Company will lose a great young becoming leader in terms of Rennalls who is extremely proud to recognize his mistakes.

    Immigration in America has been a topic of intense debate through American history. Americans seem to always want to single “immigrants” out as being a bad guy per say, and the border patrol as good guys. Is it really fair to make that judgment based just on history? I sure do not think so. There’s more to immigrants then there history, there’s a reason why they come to America and it is not always intended for evil. Believe it or not, after reading The Devils Highway by Luis Alberto Urrea, immigrants are the good guys just asking for another chance at life. While the Border Patrol Officers are just wearing that uniform and taking advantage of it. Not coming to an agreement, Luis Alberto Urrea’s nonfiction novel would actually enrich the debate on illegal immigration due to the reasoning’s Urrea gives us on these walkers wanting to come to America.…

    It is intrinsically human to experience conflict; thus, we will all be forced to respond to conflict at various times and in various forms throughout the course of our lives, and in order to live serenely we attempt to avoid and resolve conflict. Whilst conflict may merely involve two parties disagreeing over minor differences of opinion (the permutations of which being largely insignificant), we have seen throughout history that major conflicts in the form of war and international political unrest, lead many to experience horrific and life-changing conflicts of a larger scale. Our challenge is to deal with conflict that might be well beyond the reaches of our control, and wholly influenced by the actions of others. Noting the diverse contexts of such conflict, what emerges is the extraordinary way that we can be tested, and how we emerge from such harrowing circumstances. We begin to question not the battle itself- conflict has occurred and will occur again- but the human behavior behind the conflict and our responses to such conditions. Those who experience conflict are truly tested and the core of their characters brought into sharp focus as they make sense of their experiences and those of the people around them. For the woman incarcerated at the end of Bruce Bereford’s ‘Paradise Road’ it is the conflict of enduring a war and all that this encompasses, including cultural prejudice and misunderstanding, violence and torture. For others in our world’s recent history such as Nelson Mandela, it was the conflict of enduring persistent ignorance, discrimination and injustice. Through the stories of these people we can see that while conflict can often breed further disagreement and suffering, it may indeed prompt some to act in extraordinary ways that are bigger and more complex than they might have realized themselves. They are led to articulate through their responses to conflict, who they…

    The two themes that are very evident in this novel are race relations and identity. This novel is set in the time period of a few years after the civil war, and as such the United States is trying to decide what the roles of the newly freed coloureds will be. The nameless man, throughout the course of the novel, lives life as a coloured man and white man both in the north and south. Due to those experiences, he has observed racial issues from a variety of perspectives. The man, brought up mostly among whites, sets out around the country to study the coloureds and share what he learns with his readers. He shows this by stating that, “it is a difficult thing for a white man to learn what a coloured man really thinks …” and “I believe it to be a fact that the coloured people of this country know and understand the white people better than the white people know and understand them. In chapter five, he divides the coloureds into three categories based on their interactions with the white men: the desperate class, the working-class servants, and middle and upper classes. The lower class or the “desperate class,” as the narrator calls them, “carry the entire weight of the race question.” In chapter nine, during an intense discussion of future racial relations…

    The mysterious, independent and cynical Jordan Baker, known for lying through her teeth. Jordan has no problem lying especially if it gets her out of trouble. She lies about things she doesn't even need to lie about, for example, when her and Nick went to a house party, “she left a borrowed car out in the rain with the top down, and then lied about it” (Fitzgerald 62). Lying about something as little as leaving a car out in the rain shows in and of itself how dishonest of a person she is. Distinctly because she has all the money in the world to have it fixed, there is no need for her to lie about something like that. Jordan has never been known for being at the bottom, she is always seen as being on top, but is she really the best if she has…
