This week’s study notes and your textbook emphasized the importance of understanding multiculturalism in effective interviewing.  We often take for granted our own assumptions, values, and ways of perceiving the world until we encounter people from another culture. Recall a time when you experienced “culture shock” by traveling to another part of the world or by interacting with someone from another culture and were surprised by some of your own assumptions. If you have not interacted with people from different cultures, think about a book or film in which you became aware of your own assumptions and discovered that they were not universal. If you are having trouble, consider renting the movies Slumdog Millionaire, The House of Sand and Fog, Mi Familia, or Double Happiness.

For this discussion assignment:

1. Identify and explain an example of “culture shock” either from your own experience or from a movie or book.
2. Explain how your personal assumptions were challenged.
3. Discuss what you learned about your own beliefs and if your beliefs were changed in any way.
4. As appropriate, cite the online course, the textbook, and other credible, scholarly sources to substantiate the points you are making.
5. Apply APA standards for writing and citations to your work.

s the director of the internal auditing and fraud investigation departments for a large retail company that buys and sells large volumes of products, you have received an anonymous tip from a confidential employee in one of the high-tech warehouses. The confidential employee noted that there was a major embezzlement taking place in one of the divisions. Members of the internal audit department had completed a routine review of the internal control of that division the previous year, and they found that the control system was properly designed and operating effectively. Only minor recommendations were made, and the next review is due 3 years later.

The confidential employee noted the erratic behavior and lavish lifestyle of the warehouse controller and stated that the controller has been overriding existing controls, which would prevent any audit from being able to detect the embezzlement. The warehouse controller is well-respected and highly trusted by the chief executive officer (CEO) and the chief financial officer (CFO), and their families are involved in the same civic organizations. Investigating the plant controller could cause considerable disruption in the company and the personal lives of the employees.

Please answer 3 of the following questions. As you answer the questions, you must provide support or evidence that will enhance and empirically prove your answers. Academic criminal justice articles or real life criminal justice findings that are not found in journals or other academic sources must be used in supporting your answers. Please use APA style for all cited sources, including your resource page.

• Given the situation, discuss some of the options that the company has for handling this situation.
• Assuming you decide to investigate these allegations, describe the investigation steps.
• In preparation for the interviews, note the order of the witnesses who would be interviewed and how you would plan, conduct, and document your interviews.
• Discuss how you would conduct an admission-seeking interview of the plant controller.

1. Oral History Exercise

Oral history is a sociological research method used to capture individual perspectives, and untold histories. We will use this exercise to collect unknown stories of social movement involvement, and strategy. We will then collectively analyze these oral histories to test current theories on social movement mobilization and strategy.

The Task – Collect a thirty minute oral history from someone who has been active in a social movement. This might be a family friend involved in struggles in the past – in Canada or elsewhere, a friend involved in campaigning, or someone else. You can either take detailed notes, or record the interview and then transcribe it.

 

1. Transcribe the oral history

Introduce the oral history with the name of the interviewer, the date of the interview, the location and a brief biography of the individual.

Use models of existing oral histories to format this. 

1. Follow the oral history with a written reflection (4 – 6 pages double spaced) that answers the following questions.
2. How did who I am as an interviewer influence the oral history offered?
3. How did the time, date or location of the interview influence the oral history offered?
4. What did I notice when transcribing that I didn’t notice while doing the interview?
5. What processes tied to social movements were described during the oral history (for this refer to three concepts from the course, and cite the author of that concept)
6. What do I wish I had asked?
7. Who would I interview next in order to understand the history revealed during this interview?

The oral history will be peer graded by two other randomly selected students in the class, and then reviewed by me. The final grade will be given by me, taking the earlier evaluations into account. The oral history assignment will be graded for:

Rubric for grading
