With this kind of business, the company must have the best team of specialists to gear up their operation department.
Viewing from the perspective of the critical race theory CRT , John Baker is the one who are a racist, even though he would be surprised being labeled as one. Unintentional and unconscious motivations for behavior are as powerful as intentional and conscious behavior. The resignation letter from Rennalls is stems from racism that Baker, unintentionally giving a historical example that put European culture on a pedestal of years of development and left Barracania on the bottom of the human history.
Baker may not see himself as a racist because human tends to see others weakness rather than evaluate themselves as the old saying goes: putting yourself in someone else shoe. Furthermore, the have been complaints regarding Rennalls bad attitude rudeness to various expatriate staffs, mostly his superior. It is also help to show that the company is unequivocally in having Rennalls as their new chief engineer.
Should Strategy 1 been turned down by Rennalls, the company should not waste any of their time and start looking for new candidates to replace John Baker. The small stuff adds up and wears a person down. Rennalls simply had had enough. Keep your judgment and reactions out of it while doing so. Step 2: Define the problem Baker has to confess to his wrongdoing even though that has been done unconsciously and unintentionally.
The goal of conflict solving is not to decide which person is right or wrong but to reach a solution that everyone can live with.
Baker and Rennalls both have to look for the need of the company, rather than solutions, will leads to a win-win options. They have to identify the real issue and be clear what the problem is, in this case, racism. They have to keep in mind that different people will have different views of what the issues are.
Usually, one will think that they need to choose the best solution that satisfies both parties. The company may have to schedule a follow-up meeting in about two-weeks period to determine how both parties are doing after the post mortem session. Besides, we might not be able to have conflicted employees to agree on every issue on the first meeting. Therefore, the company needs to notice their different styles and perspectives in order for the company to guide them back on track and move the company forward.
In the case of Baker-Rennalls, they may not have two-weeks, but the company can schedule a convenient timeframe for both of them in order to find the best solution. Baker and Rennalls may contribute to the list of solution that possibly fulfill their needs.

Sometimes, however, science or the science culture has gone wrong so one may actually learn more reading an older book than a newer one. Since fewer people read older books, one can sometimes find relevant but forgotten facts in them. Lastly, they can provide much needed historical information about the development of thinking about some idea or of some field. I ended up starting to read it more or less at random due to a short talk I had with John Fuerst about it we are writing together on racial admixture, intelligence and socioeconomic outcomes in the Americas and also wrote a paper on immigrant performance in Denmark.
So, the book really is dated. It spends hundreds of pages on arcane fysical anthropology which requires one to master human anatomy. However, they do provide one with the distinct impression of how one did fysical anthropology in old times. No wonder they did not reach that high agreement.
The data are too scarce to find clusters and humans not sufficiently good at cluster analysis at the intuitive level. Still, they did notice some patterns that are surely correct, such as the division between various African populations, Ainu vs. Japanese, that Europeans are Asians are closer related, that Afghans etc. Clearly, these pre-genetic ideas were not all totally wrong headed. They seem reasonably in line with modern evidence. The malarial mosquitoes and their relatives provide a remarkable example of this.
It was discovered in that one kind of the genus Anopheles, called elutus, could be distinguished from the well-known malarial mosquito, A. He noticed that several different kinds of eggs could be distinguished, that the same female always laid eggs having the same appearance, and that adult females derived from those eggs produced eggs of the same type. He realized that although the adults all appeared similar, there were in fact several different kinds, which he could recognize by the markings on their eggs.
Falleroni named several different kinds after his friends, and the names he gave are the accepted ones today in scientific nomenclature. Each is adapted to its own ecological niche But this implies a dung beetle is equal to Beethoven! However, his discussion of the civilizational achievements of different races remains relevant cf Guns, Germs, and Steel. Defining Civilization Baker identifies several criteria for civilization p Neither with some partial exceptions discussed in Chapter 21 did they construct two-storey buildings or devise a written script Art Baker also compares the art of different cultures.
Like moral judgement, such assessments are subjective Thus, Baker disparages black African art as non-naturalistic p but extols Celtic art, which is mostly non-figurative p With regard to music, however, he recognises cultural bias, suggesting that European explorers failed to recognise the rhythmical qualities of African music p A Reminder of What Was Possible?

In any course on data analysis for the physical sciences, we're warned about avoiding three major pitfalls that make our data analysis worthless: assuming our conclusions, throwing out data, and making our metrics so hazy that we can change them at will making them "untestable".
This book is a fantastic example of all three in a very concise fashion; it's worth a look solely to see how atrocious arguments can become when someone does analysis this badly. Oct 16, Lisa rated it did not like it. Racists can be poor and racists can be rich.
Racists can be under-educated and racists can be very educated, especially when that education takes place during an overwhelming racist period in society. Baker was such an affluent, educated racist. He earned a Ph. D in the s, and he became a fellow in the Royal Society in the s. Still, the leisure and ability to earn several degrees did not eliminate his feelings of threatened superiority as he was entering his dotage in Fortunately, e Racists can be poor and racists can be rich.
Fortunately, even upon first publication, book reviewers saw clearly through his inadequate use of science and ancient, racist quotations to "prove" his point. Do not mistake this book for science, either genetics, anthropology, sociology, or other valid sciences.
It's just an old racist's blatherings with a facade of science. If you have a sincere question about why Europe attained ascendancy for its few centuries, a much better read is Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies by Jared Diamond , a Pulitzer Prize winning book, which is long but very readable.
