Richard, an Australian, is part of a team of lawyers based in Paris. Claude, 48, is the team's
PA. Claude works from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., with an hour and a half for lunch. Richard is very
pleased with the quality of Claude's, work and her commitment to the team. Unfortunately
because of his extensive travel commitments abroad, he has never had the opportunity to
have lunch with her or spend any time with her and the team outside the work environment.
After a while, Richard asks to be addressed by his first name. Several months later, however,
Claude is still calling him 'Monsieur Lafleur' and addressing him with Voulez-vous bien..."
although Richard calls her 'Claude' and addresses her with Veux-tu.
Richard is puzzled and decides to talk to Claude about this matter in order to clarify the
situation. To his amazement, Claude replies that she prefers to call him by his surname and
refer to him with the formal vous.
How would you explain these differences in terms of Hofstede's cultural dimensions

Rocky Mountain National Park, nicknamed "Rocky," is a true marvel of the American West and contains a variety of animals, plant life, and even climates. There are four ecosystems inside Rocky Mountain National Park: riparian, montane, subalpine, and alpine tundra. You might see a moose or mule deer drinking from a pond in a riparian ecosystem, which are areas that are near streams or lakes. Riparian ecosystems can be found within the other three ecosystems. The montane ecosystem is the lowest in elevation at Rocky. There you will find ponderosa pine trees and wide-open mountain meadows, lush with wildflowers in the summer. Climb a little higher into the subalpine ecosystem, where long winters and short, cool summers make up the climate. Look high into a limber pine tree and you might spot a Clark's nutcracker, nibbling on pine seeds. Finally, the highest elevation in Rocky is the alpine tundra. Bitter cold and wind-blasted defines this ecosystem with its jagged mountain tops that are capped with snow even in late August. Each of these ecosystems has a quality all its own, but they are all interconnected, comprising a true American treasure: "Rocky."

Resolution: Citizens should have a right to internet privacy.


Affirmative Position: As more and more parts of our lives move online, our right to privacy is being devastated. Everything we say, everywhere we go, and everyone we know is fair game. Surveillance has a chilling effect on free speech and free association, undermines free media, and threatens the free exercise of religion. It doesn’t matter if the surveillance is done by governments or corporations.

Read the passage from "When Good People Do Bad Things,” which is an informational text about research into group behaviors.

In a study that recently went online in the journal Neurolmage, the researchers measured brain activity in a part of the brain involved in thinking about oneself. They found that in some people, this activity was reduced when the subjects participated in a competition as part of a group, compared with when they competed as individuals. Those people were more likely to harm their competitors than people who did not exhibit this decreased brain activity.

Read this passage to answer the following question:

Blog Post

Four-year universities are the only good option for life after high school. Everybody I know is going to a four-year school, which shows that it is the most popular choice.

There are no other ways to learn or get a good job if you don't go to a four-year school. Plus, for most people, you can just take out a few loans and pay them back when you get a job. That's what my older brother did, and it's really not that expensive.

Finally, a four-year university is the only way you can make friends or travel abroad or get great internships. Anyone who doesn't choose a four-year university is missing out.

What evidence does the author use to support his argument?
You can't find a good job if you don't go to a four-year university.
The author doesn't present any facts to support his argument.
Most people I know pay off their student loans right after school.
If someone I know is doing something, then it is happening everywhere.
