Perception of self and others in culturally diverse teams is crucial to help members navigate better in their professional world. However, studies have demonstrated that self-reports may be distorted by self-protecting motives and response biases. In a large-scale analysis (560 samples and 2800 reviews), we investigated if perception reports are inflated and positively evaluated for self in culturally diverse teams. Moreover, we identified the cultural intelligence (CQ) attributes manifesting the aspects, which an individual takes into consideration when perceiving self and others, and explored whether these attributes were the same in both cases. Furthermore, from the shared experiences of members in culturally diverse teams, we tried to determine whether self-reports and other perception reports can serve as useful predictors in eliminating cultural conflicts.

This research aims to discover the Sartre's concept of other in No Exit. Sartre in his existential philosophy explained that enslavement and dependence on others is a major source of torture for human beings. According to Sartre's existential philosophy human beings are free in the world but with the freedom there comes total responsibility of actions. Human beings are afraid to hold the responsibility of their actions which causes bad faith and enslavement upon others. Review section outlines some concepts of Sartre's existential philosophy as mentioned by re-known writers in their writings. Research is qualitative in nature as framework portion of article illustrates definitions of Sartre's concept of others, being and gaze. No Exit, is an existential play highlights the suffering of three dead people in the hell who are failed to exhibit their subjective self-consciousness and freedom completely thus suffered from bad faith. An existential analysis of the play reveals that characters dependency over each other fails their capability to make decisions for themselves independently. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Simone de Beauvoir in The Second Sex portrayed how the concepts of Self and Other are being shaped, created or reinforced in a text. The concept of Otherness is portrayed conspicuously in Benazir Bhutto's autobiography entitled Daughter of the East. Benazir Bhutto was the first democratically elected female leader of Pakistan and she was assassinated in December 2007. Bhutto talked about her personal life, strength and her political activity in the twentieth century. Alireza Ayari translated this autobiography into Persian in 2009. The purpose of this study is to examine the concept of women's Otherness in Daughter of the East (Source Text, "ST") and then to analyze the changes of this concept in its Persian translation (Target Text, "TT"). This is a mixed method study and includes qualitative and quantitative phases. In the qualitative phase, the facts of Otherness in the ST are compared to those in the TT in order to find out to what extent the exact meaning of Otherness in the ST transferred to the TT. The findings show that the translator could transfer the exact strength of meaning of Otherness to the TT in most cases. In the quantitative phase, the TT is examined by the use of manipulation strategies (omission, addition, substitution, attenuation). The investigation shows that out of 30 items under study, the most commonly used strategies by the translator were omission (46.66%) and addition (40%). It can be concluded that the translator may consciously and unconsciously use these two strategies more than others to impose certain conscious or unconscious cultural and linguistic implications in terms of Otherness.

Modern nation-state has the common particularity which is the social formation based on the universality and identity, and that performs the identification without thinking of others, whether that is capitalism or socialism. But the crisis of modernity and nation-state provoke the necessity and possibility of the ethics of others with the critics of modernity. And they suggest the recognition and coexistence of others who are excluded in the modernity. The formation of new community through the recognition of others premises the end of the philosophy of history which support the conception of progress. But the neo-liberalism brings the misery of the world, and it’s necessary to criticise it. We have to search the new criteria of the good life. This work will be performed both on the level of subjects and the political. This article treats the ethics of others in E. Levinas through the perspective of Derrida, and the problematics of hospitality of Derrida, and at last, the politics of right and the moments of new conmiunity. The problems of the recognition and co-existence of others are the new thinking of political community and of the political. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article deals with an ethics of concrete others as an appropriate ethics for the vulnerable in a globalizing world. The concept of concrete others is based on the Levinasian concept of the other in that it accepts the transcendental dimension of others; however, the concept of concrete others is different from the concept of the other because it emphasizes immanent dimensions of human beings and their multiple differences. Because of a globalizing world which makes different vulnerabilities more visible, I contend that the vulnerable need to be framed as concrete others rather than the other. There are different ethics which try to address vulnerabilities of concrete others. An ethics of the multitude betrays its exclusive concern for the economic dimension of the vulnerable while it shows little attention to cultural and political vulnerabilities of others. An ethics of différance, although its emphasis is on concrete difference, betrays limitations in recognizing and addressing inequality behind diverse differences of the vulnerable. An ethics of concrete others, which emphasizes both transcendental dimension and immanent dimension of concrete others, promotes both difference and equality of concrete others through equality that is substantially conducive to protection and promotion of difference.

Hagel's master/slave pattern is one of the most prevalent theories in colonial literature and postcolonial literature, and it is well illustrated in Coetzee's Waiting for the Barbarians. Colonel Joll, the spokesman for the imperial Third Bureau, acts as the absolute master to the native Africans by treating them with physical and mental violence. The colonized, on the other hand, deprived of the right to speak and decide, have no choice but to live with brutal exploitation and oppression. However, from the view of the deep meaning, we may not fail to notice that this unequal relationship between the master and the slave entails the isomorphic oppression for both the colonizers and the colonized, both of whom can not run away from its alienation and mental stress.

Educational change, predictable or unanticipated, occurs when student populations are altered. When an American college started an international program in Prague, it was anticipated that educational practice would change. To understand the implications for teaching, learning, and practice mentors explored the new educational landscape. The concept of bricolage informed much of that exploration and this paper considers bricolage, summarizes research outcomes, and reflects on the opportunity and ethics of engagement with Other.

The article looks at online discussion communities on the cultural citizenship of Latinos in San Diego, California, focusing on how the view of Latino immigrants seeking citizenship is socially constructed. Topics discussed include forms of segregation, discrimination, and social exclusion that affect Latino populations, noting how awareness of terrorism has created a sense of cultural pessimism in the U.S. The author also comments on the book "The Latino Threat Narrative. Constructing Immigrants, Citizens, and the Nation," by Leo Chávez.

This article incorporates the history of East Asian cultural interactions into the field of “regional history,” and proposes certain subjects to be explored. The article consists of five sections. Section 1 aims to draw attention to “regional history,” an emerging discipline different from “national history”-which occupied great academic interest in the 20th century-and “global history”-a speedily heating issue in the 21st century. Section 2 suggests a new way of study in “regional history”: to shift our focus from the “result” of cultural interactions to the “process”, thus making a “paradigm shift” as well as in the study of history of East Asian cultural interactions. Section 3 raises two problematiques in the proposed field of “regional history”: the mutual influence between “self” and “other” and that between “culture” and “power structure.” Section 4 proposes three types of “interaction” for further research: (1) interaction of personage (between “professional intermediate agents” and “others”); (2) interaction of articles (especially books); (3) interaction of thoughts. The last section concludes that, with the rise of East Asian countries on the world stage n the 21st century, the state-centrist style of historical study shall be re-directed to a broader East Asian perspective. By redefining the “history of East Asian cultural interactions” as “regional history,” we will be able to make crucial revisits to and reflection upon our traditional cultures.

If the popular psychotherapy patterns produced in modern culture (e. g. the classic paradigms of psychoanalysis and behaviorism) are viewed from the perspective of interrelationship ethics, it can be found that they all depend heavily on the counselor's authority to reconstruct the self of the client, who is thought not to behave in the "absolute correct manner". The client is just treated as an object, thus being deprived of his subjectivity. As for the post modern patterns, though the client is considered a subjective existence and permitted to take part in the construction of his own self story through language, the counselor with the post modem mentality is still as powerful as his counterparts equipped with the modem thinking in that the conversations are still under his tight control though in a covert manner and thus the client's subjectivity is still impaired by his well wielded power. Rogers's client centered therapy pattern, however, attaches due importance to the respect and sincere attitude of acceptance for the clients during therapy rather than the therapeutic methods. This pattern not only introduces the ethics into psychotherapy, but also reminds people that during psychotherapy we should accept, respect and care for others unconditionally.

The article discusses J.P. Sartre's social philosophy. Sartre's case provides an example of the tensions between the quest for originality and the legacy of the school on the basis of social sciences. The school provides agents with philosophy concept that acts to be a discourse on the principles. The authors also mentions that Sartre's works attempt to preserve philosophical hierarchies.

The current study examined one's own independent and interdependent self-construals, as well as the estimation of others' independent and interdependent self-construals. Undergraduate students from the United States and China (n = 269) were recruited to test cultural differences in the relative valuation of attributes reflected in self-construal scale items. As hypothesized, Chinese participants perceived themselves as more interdependent than other Chinese, whereas U.S. participants perceived other Americans as more interdependent than themselves. Contrary to the prediction, both Chinese and U.S. participants viewed themselves as more independent than others in their own culture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
