Dem a family? Mi hear im seh...
And I know what this means... We here in Jamaica tend to adopt cousins and support people based on personal preferences, similarities or longstanding friendships, school ties and mutual allies.
Its commonplace for people to introduce persons as family most often cousins where there is some family link possibly. Or maybe its not even proven or certain if there are any actually family ties, but the bonds are as strong as family or at times even stronger. Bonds made through kinship, community and communal living that creates extended families.
The issue I am concerned about is that often times I notice there is a culture, even in workplaces and business places. Of supporting persons based on biases and personal preferences, to the point of ignoring the rules and regulations completely. Which results in a situation where fairness is not applied most often, in fact there can be observed an acceptance for completely prejudicial treatment. Treating even customers differently dependent on friendships is not ethical really and its not good business practice either!
I am offering as a Freelance Communications Consultant, and a Specialist in Sales, Marketing and Promotion, a Customer Service training program. Aimed at helping Small businesses and professionals with identifying more positive, fair, open-minded business practices. To facilitate team building, positve business practices and ultimately help boost the team and businesses overall performance and dramatically increase your bottom line, resulting in increased profitability!

WINNING by ANY MEANS Necessary?
Its not to win at all if it means you didn't win really you only made persons believe you won, because you actually tricked, paid, cheated, compelled, connived, manipulated, blackmailed and corrupted the competition or even totally annihilated the competition in order to sabotage their possible attempt to counterattack.
Is it really worth celebrating a win if it wasn't won by talent, skill or genuine hardwork, or real merit?!~

LADIES 1st or NOT?
Another observation about cultural practices that are contradictory to our traditional culture and popular beliefs...
Ladies before Gentlemen! so they say but...yet nowadays you find that men are competing with women like never before!
Especially I have observed time and time again in the music business, I see that women are expected to constantly accept being treated as secondary to their male counterparts.
The old fashioned Jamaican culture of chivalry, still exists to a certain extent but much of the practices of the past have been almost altogether forgotten. And in the younger generation its almost impossible to find or rare. These days its pretty hard to find a Lady let alone a real Gentleman!
The days when a man would purposefully walk on the outside whilst the lady took the inside lane, or hold open a door for a female, or give up a seat on a bus even or secure them in a taxi before finding their own are almost completely gone. Still with all of the effort gone, there are still a lot of men who after pushing the woman out of the way, still want to be given the benefit of being treated like THE MAN!
Hold on a minute?.. I am all for development, evolution, equality and respecting rights for both sexes. But you cant foresake the old traditions of chivalry in favor of more modern practices of women holding their own, but still want to play the role of being the Superior sex, or playing the role of THE BIG MAN - only when it suits you!
The change is either in effect or it isn't, its either equal rights and Justice for all or none. It cant be that we pick and chose when to advance and regress when it suits us. Or persons are only modernized when they feel like it and as soon as the situation becomes a little uncomfortable they revert back to old stereotypes to suit!~
