How would you respond to these challenges? What might be the repercussions?

A number of employees from the former Soviet Union speak Russian together when they\'re in the workplace - they sit together on break and at lunch and do not befriend \"Americans.\" Sometimes, they ask each other for work-related advice? Does it make you uncomfortable? Should you try to make them change their behavior? Why or why not? How?

A non-Christian employee doesn\'t want to participate in the festive daytime Christmas party, but goes reluctantly. Everybody is there and having fun. She tries to stay in the background, but is ushered over to a very merry Santa who insists on giving her a present. She leaves immediately, upset. Is she being unreasonable? Explain. How much should religion be accommodated in the workplace (this is a huge question, so just touch on it).

What subcultures are you part of (race, religion, gender, Northerner, Southerner, it could be anything....)? Have you ever felt uncomfortable at work because of your membership within a sub-culture? Were you accommodated appropriately?

Answer: Yes it would make me un-comfortable at first. Then get into their shoes and think whether I would have done the same. If no then I will not change their behaviour, as someting that is not acceptable to me at their place is not even 1% possible afterwards in reality. If the answer is yes then there is some chance that their behavior can be changed after some time.

This can only be possible by doing your work in a best possible way and win their hearts by your work and also championing their hearts with my own behaviour.
