nd, announced Friday that it had produced the first clone of a human being. According to the spokeswoman, it is a baby girl who appears to have been born healthy.

(47) As we know, cattle, mice, sheep and other animals have been cloned in the past years with mixing success. (48) All cloned animals have displayed defects later in life. (49) Scientists fear same could happen with cloned humans. (50) The company Clonaid is viewed skeptical by most scientists, who doubt the group's technical ability to clone a human being. (51) But the Clonaid spokeswoman said an dependent expert will confirm the baby's clone status through DNA testing.

(52) Clonaid is lead by Brigitte Boisselier a former deputy director of research at the Air Liquide Group, a French producer of industrial and medical gases. (53) Clonaid is also linked to a sect called the Raelians whose founder, Claude Vorihon, describes himself for a prophet and calls himself Rael. (54) The group believes cloning could extend human life for hundred of years. In fact, Clonaid has been racing the Italian fertility doctor Severion Antinori to produce the first cloned baby. (55) Antinori said in last month he expected one of his patients to give birth to a cloned baby in January.

that is homogeneous in custom and race with a strong family or clan structure and highly developed rituals. Order is maintained through sanctions based in the religion or family and interpersonal relationships are strong. Tradition is paramount, and change comes infrequently and slowly. There is relatively little division of labor into specialized duties. Rather, each person is expected to perform. a great variety of tasks, though duties may differ between the sexes. Most goods are handmade and subsistence economy prevails. Individualism is weakly developed in folk cultures, as are social classes. Unaltered folk cultures no longer exist in industrialized countries such as the United States and Canada.

2 Perhaps the nearest modern equivalent in America is the Amish, a German American farming sect that largely renounces the products and labor saving devices of the industrial age. In Amish areas, horse drawn buggies still serve as a local transportation device and the faithful are not permitted to own automobiles. The Amish's central religious concept of Demut "humility" clearly reflects the weakness of individualism and social class so typical of folk cultures and there is a corresponding strength of Amish group identity. Rarely do the Amish marry outside their sect. The religion, a variety of the Mennonite faith, provides the principal mechanism for maintaining order.

3 By contrast a popular culture is a large heterogeneous group often highly individualistic and constantly changing. Relationships tend to be impersonal and a pronounced division of labor exists, leading to the establishment of many specialized professions. Secular institutions of control such as the police and army take the place of religion and family in maintaining order, and a money based economy prevails. Because of these contrasts, "popular" may be viewed as clearly different from "folk". The popular is replacing the folk in industrialized countries and in many developing nations. Folk-made objects give way to their popular equivalent, usually because the popular item is more quickly or cheaply produced, is easier or time saving to use or lends more prestige to the owner.

Which of the following statements is NOT true of a folk culture？

A．Impersonal.

B．Religious.

C．Conservative.

D．Collective.

Cross Cultural Conflict Resolution in Teams

Team members work in increasingly diverse environments: in terms of age, gender, race, language, and nationality. Beyond these differences, there are also deeper cultural differences that influence the way conflict is approached.

The use of teams represents an important change in the way we work. The theory is that through the interdependency of the parts greater productivity is achieved by the whole. Experience has been less kind. One reason that teams fail to meet performance expectations is their paralysis through unresolved conflict.

Teams Dynamics

Over time successful teams develop culturally distinct pathways to communicate, problem solving, make decisions, and resolve conflict. Most literature on teams suggests that they realize high performance levels by passing through four distinct development phases, 'forming', 'storming', 'norming' and 'performing'.

The development of team norms does not take place in a vacuum, but is embedded in the wider social, political and economic context of the day; Another reality is that team members do not have access to the same power. Sources of power differ, as do expectations about how and when it will be used. It is suggested that a successful team will:

be comfortable dealing with conflict

be committed to resolving disputes close to the source

resolve disputes based on interests before rights and power

learn from experience with Conflicts.

This ties in with research on the effects of interpersonal conflict in teams. A team member's commitment to the team and the team mission decreases if conflict goes unresolved, but can increase if conflict is well-managed and resolved. If unhealthy conflict goes unresolved for too long, team members are likely to quit or to search for alternatives.

Defining Culture

Social anthropology, as the academic field responsible for the study of culture, has yet to settle on a definition of culture. However, for our practical purposes, culture is defined as the shared set of values, beliefs, norms, attitudes, behaviors, and social structures that define reality and guide everyday interactions.

This definition implies that culture is an attribute of a group, and also contemplates the fact that there may be as much variation within the group as between different groups: We often associate culture with a national group, however, culture includes ethnic groups, clans, tribes and organizations. Teams within organizations also have beliefs, attitudes and behaviors that constitute unique cultures.

Although there are many similarities between cultures, it is important not to minimize real differences that do exist.

A useful tool for considering the cultures of different groups is the bell curve. The majority of a group culture will confirm to a dominant set of beliefs, attitudes and behaviors, but there will be members of the cultural group that differ in significant ways from the norm.

Individualistic and Collectivist Dimensions of a Culture

An important dimension of culture is the extent to which members identify with the group (in this case the team) rather than themselves as individuals. Individualistic cultures place a high value on "autonomy, initiative, creativity, and authority in decision making." Individual interests trump group interests, and any group commitment is a function of a perceived self-benefit. Collectivist cultures, on the other hand, value the group above the individual. Group conformity and commitment is maintained at the expense of personal interests. Harmony, getting along and maintaining 'face are seen as crucial'.

The dominant culture in the USA, Canada, Western Europe, Australia, and New Zealand is individualistic, while collectivism predominates the rest of the
