In this case, communication involves the use of different languages as well as verbal and non-verbal methods that differ across the various cultures. Business and immigration in earlier centuries brought about multicultural interaction. Culture, Ethnicity, and Acculturation Culture defines how people do things, the beliefs, traditions, and language, whereas ethnicity refers to people belonging to a particular group based on such traits. Ethnic background results in groups sharing common aspects being labeled as members of a specific ethnic group. Acculturation involves an adaptation of culture different from the one an individual is accustomed to. Immigration plays a significant role in acculturation as people living in countries away from their environments take up the norms and regulations of the host country (Romero et al., 2018, p.9). Asians living in Western countries are likely to adopt a different dressing code and learn a new language. Ethnicity…

Critical Infrastructure Q1. Threats Related To Landlines, Cell Phones, and Satellite Communications Possible risks involved in installing these types of communication include natural, human-made and technological threats. Natural hazards such as floods and hurricanes would interfere with landline communication as the hard wires used might be cut off by strong winds. If wiring is underground, disasters such as floods could interfere with communication, possibly damaging the cables. Cell phone communication might be interrupted by extreme weather, but there is no likelihood of permanent damage. On the other hand, satellite communication is least likely to be affected by natural disasters. Physical threats include cellular phone theft or cutting off of landline wires. Physical risk is not expected with satellite communication.  Cyber threats are not likely with landline communication but are high risk with satellite and cellular connection due to hacking. Therefore it would be possible to intercept any activity coming in and out of the company. Q2. One Way That a Criminal or Terrorist Might Attack Critical Infrastructure in the Community A cyber attack is possible and could be targeted at…
