With the development of globalization, cross-culture communication is indispensable to an open society in which we live today. Therefore, cultural differences are everywhere. The cultures between the East and the West are distinguished by a rather large scale. It means not only the opinions or ways of thinking are different, but how do people behave in daily life is also not the same, sometimes may even the opposite. This paper will first probe into the causes for cultural differences and then some of the typical examples to illustrate the cultural difference between east and west, and finally, ways to fit in different cultures.

At Outworks Gallery, recent University of Manitoba grad Miriam Rudolph is presenting work that investigates these ideas of identity, place and the experience of being an immigrant in a country full of them. Made up of nearly two dozen paintings and prints, it's an impressively large body of work that she's created mostly in the last year, her thesis year in the fine arts program. Done in a deliberately child-like style that recalls the work of untrained folk artists, Rudolph's work documents her travels and movements before and after she came to settle in Winnipeg. Despite its apparent simplicity, she packs each work with details that indicate a whole range of events, emotions, and cultural difference and similarities. In My Winnipeg, Rudolph looks at her new city, and highlights some...
The WF's "Downtown Greenspaces Strategy" will establish a park around the Upper Fort Garry Gate at Broadway and Main Street, a new stage at Old Market Square and a pedestrian bridge across the Assiniboine River that will link two existing parks. Among the first questions that should be asked is whether the mayor has the mandate to move this money around? The water park funds come from a $43-million fund for recreational facilities, which was originally money destined for public transit. [Sam Katz] killed the public transit project when he was first elected, on the theory Winnipeg needed recreation more than transit. And now, recreation has become a wave pool. No matter how you frame this debate, there is a fundamental difference between traditional public amenities -- hospitals, librari...

This paper identifies two new tools, the Keirsey Temperament Sorter (KTS) and Derrida's deconstruction method, to identify cognitive differences between Australian, Thai, and Japanese managers. The KTS identifies one's temperament pattern, which describes ways in which human personalities interact with the environment to satisfy needs. Temperament theory has been extended to leadership/management theory to show that inborn temperament tendencies are differently distributed by cultural groups and these tendencies affect approaches to negotiations. Derrida's deconstruction method offers a new approach to identifying a culture's true diversity by recommending an analysis of the 'difference-to-oneself' within a culture before comparing 'difference-between' cultures. Results identified signi...

The Conference Board of Canada reports that with most new Canadians arriving from China, India, Korea, Pakistan, the Philippines and Taiwan, nearly 73 per cent of immigrants are visible minorities. But while 66 per cent of Canada's roughly 3.9 million visible minorities participate in the labour market, their representation in senior management positions is inadequately low. Canadian businesses must step up and better manage cultural diversity in the workplace, starting by realizing the difference between equity and equality. Equality is about ignoring differences altogether while equity is about acknowledging different cultural identities and valuing them as an advantage. * Blending corporate culture and cultural diversity -- Employees should be encouraged to wear their distinct cultu...
Curriculum developers plan to shape cultural teachings for northern students based on Onion Lake's cultural immersion program. They will develop these further with a special emphasis on the cultural and dialect differences: one difference being that Cree speakers in Onion Lake use the 'Y' dialect while those in the La Ronge area use the 'TH' dialect. We use several different teaching methods and one is the 'total physical response method' of teaching and that's where you kind of assign actions to words and so you're using your whole body to learn the language. Another teaching is the 'accelerated second language acquisition'. "If we lose the language can we honestly say that we are a Cree nation or a Dene nation?" She asked. "That's part of our role as teachers, as educators, grandpar...
The winter showcase of Franco-Manitoban culture celebrated its 40th anniversary this year, attracting more than 105,000 people over 10 days in February. The festival generated more than $10.4 million in economic activity. Among the tourists who came to this year's festival were Cajun cultural representatives from New Orleans, who despite the nearly 60-degree weather difference, immensely enjoyed the experience, festival spokeswoman Emili Bellefleur says. The 15th annual snow sculpting symposium drew teams from Finland, France, Argentina, Chile and even Guatemala. Teams from the warmer climes weren't big fans of the cold, but they loved the medium -- the snow. In fact, all teams were amazed with Winnipeg's white stuff. In particular, the Finnish team told organizers the snow was the best...
