In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Maybe your company recently expanded its global operations. You might suddenly find yourself working closely with team members from other cultures. Take some time to work on making these relationships stronger. Spend time learning about other cultures. For example, if you are going to be working closely with your Japan office, study up on Japanese work etiquette. Ask your Human Resources department if they have any resources available. They might be able to direct you towards a helpful website. Head to the local library. The resource librarian can direct you towards references that can give you a solid overview of the culture you're learning about. Don't go into this situation afraid to make errors. If you're overly anxious, you might not speak up and share your ideas. You also won't be able to connect with your new co-workers or clients. Just know that mistakes might happen. You might accidentally try to eat your food incorrectly at a client lunch, for example. Laugh it off and apologize. These things happen when you are learning new cultural norms. Say a sincere, "I apologize." Then remember your mistake and don't make the same one twice. Some of your current colleagues might be uncomfortable working with people from different cultures. That can cause unease and stress in the workplace. Build good relationships with people and learn to be an ally for those from other cultures. One of the most effective ways to be an ally is to show that discrimination will not be tolerated. Stand up for people if someone is saying or doing something offensive. For example, maybe one of your co-workers makes an offensive comment about the way your new clients from the Middle East dress. Make it clear that that sort of talk is not acceptable. You can say something like, "You know, just because these people dress differently, that doesn't make them wrong or somehow less than us. Let's be respectful, ok?" When you take time to get to know someone, you can find new ways to strengthen your work relationship. Put some effort into building individual relationships. Your work life will be more productive and pleasant. Don't lump people together in a group. For example, avoid making general comments such as, "Those Australians don't have the same work hours that we do." Instead, say, "I need to talk to Anna and Steve about how we can resolve this issue." Thinking of people as individuals is a great way to show respect and build relationships. It might feel difficult to learn to work with new people. This can be especially tricky if you have any sort of communication barriers. However, that doesn't mean that it's not worth your effort. Try to make any newcomers feel welcome. Try saying, "I noticed you bring your lunch. So do I. Do you want to go to the park and eat together tomorrow?" If you are the newcomer, you can find other ways to make an effort. For example, if you're in a new office, you can ask about customs and traditions. For example, you can say, "I noticed that you all seem to support different football teams. Can you tell me a little more about the sport?"
Summary: Research different cultures. Be willing to make mistakes. Learn to be an ally. Get to know individuals. Make an effort.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The first commandment in the Bible states that "You shall have no other gods before me." Christianity is a monotheistic religion, which means that you can only worship one God, the Father. God is the Father of Jesus, and according to the Bible, He created the universe and preserves all things. The Bible explains that God appears in many forms and has power beyond what any human could understand. Believing in the power of a singular God's is one of the most important parts of Christianity. Read the story of the original sin, which is the first story in the Book of Genesis, and then read the many stories of the life of Jesus in the Gospels. According to these accounts, God sent his only Son, Jesus, to the world so that he could suffer and die on the cross to absolve humanity of original sin. The general plot of this story is that Adam and Eve succumb to temptation and commit "original sin" in the Garden of Eden, which guarantees that all humans will be born having sinned. This means that they would not have been able to get into heaven without Jesus' death and acceptance into heaven. The Book of Romans states that "God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Know that in the Bible, God is made of 3 parts, including the human form of Jesus, and the metaphysical form of the Holy Spirit, which are considered the Holy Trinity. Like a triangle, which must have 3 sides to exist, God is all 3 parts of the Trinity at once, and he uses the various "sides" of Himself to accomplish His goals. The Book of John explains that "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." In this quote, Jesus is considered "the Word" because he came to Earth to spread the word of God. When a Christian person dies on Earth, they are welcomed into Heaven for an eternal afterlife at the hand of God. Read about this in Romans, which states "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." While no one is sure what this afterlife looks like, recognize that spiritual experiences on Earth can help you understand it more. If you have questions about the afterlife, talk to a pastor or spiritual guide about your concerns or thoughts. This can help you lead a life that will ensure your acceptance into Heaven. Be confident that your belief in Jesus as the Son of God guarantees that you can have a personal relationship with God. Know that God accepts and forgives you because you believe that Jesus suffered and died on the cross for your salvation. This concept is known as the "justification of faith," and serves as the foundation for a positive relationship with God that allows for personal growth and understanding. In Proverbs, the Bible states that followers should "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding." This encourages Christians to believe that their relationship with God is strong and that He will guide them, even if they don't understand His power.
Summary: Believe that there is one God, the Father. Recognize Jesus as the Son of God, sent to save humanity from original sin. Acknowledge the Holy Trinity as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Conclude that there is life after earthly death. Trust that your beliefs will lead to a strong relationship with God.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Once the worst of the earthquake has subsided, turn your radio on and search for a news station. The station will likely broadcast valuable information about the extent of the earthquake, evacuation routes, rescue efforts, and instructions for people hurt or trapped by the event. While you may be tempted to jump right out of the car after the earthquake is over, unless it is an emergency, you should stay a moment and look around. If the earthquake was minor, and you think you can safely drive away, do so but be careful. When assessing the situation, pay attention to: Downed powerlines around you. The condition of the road around you. Whether other people are getting out of their cars. If you smell gasoline or natural gas. Whether your vehicle is damaged or not. If you are injured or trapped in your vehicle, alert others immediately. You can do this by waving to people, shouting, or using a noise-making device from your survival kit. With a little luck, someone will quickly come to your aid. Whether you are in the middle of an earthquake or afterwards, you should exit your car immediately if you smell gasoline. This is important, as your car could potentially catch on fire or even explode. If you're near water and hear a tsunami alert, you should leave your car and run at least 0.5 miles (0.80km) inland or at least 100 feet (30m) above sea level. You'll likely be safer higher up than trying to flee in your vehicle. If that is not an option, then run to an evacuation tower. These towers are located in low-lying coastal areas where moving inland is impossible. Get as high as possible, and be prepared to move further up the tower. If the tower is at a public building, note that the walls of the building are designed to break away to allow water to flow through, but the tower will remain standing.
Summary:
Switch on your radio. Stay in the vehicle and assess the situation. Alert others if you need assistance. Get out of your car if you smell gasoline. Leave your car if you hear a tsunami alert.
