We watched this video in my sociology class today. It was created by the japanese government back in march 2011 to educate children in japan about the earthquake and tsunami that hit northern japan. I thought it applied nicely to the whole idea of a changing world and globalization. It also incorporated the idea of conflict and responding to conflict. The japanese government also used their position as leaders to calm down the nation after a national tragedy. Lastly it brought in the idea of both closed and open systems. In short it had  a lot of elements that reminded me of this class. Do you think this video was a good way or a bad way to calm people down? If you think this was a bad way to manage the situation how could the situation have been handled better?

Here is the leadership role in changing culture podcast from the previous link. 

Thought this was a interesting podcast for those of us who will someday be running a organization. I will also be posting a direct link of the podcast as well.

Interesting leadership podcast that I found 

Interesting PBS podcast discussing globalization and more importantly a discussion of a book that discusses this change

I thought this was a cool way to demonstrate the communication model. Everything we ever learn about communication starts at this model so I think any changes in the way organizations communicate within and with each other need to look at this overall communication model
