Far from being selfless gestures, giving gifts creates a
personal debt
It would be nice to believe that gifts are genuine
tokens of affection, given without any expectation of
recompense. (Indeed, Merriam-Webster dictionary defines
“gift” as something “voluntarily transferred” and “without
compensation.”) But if you’ve ever had the niggling sense
that something other than selflessness drives the presents
you dutifully exchange with friends and family, then
sociology has your back.
Dimitri Mortelmans, sociology professor at
Antwerp University in Belgium, explains that there is far
more to gifting than meets the eye. “Gift-giving is one of
the ancient early topics in sociology,” he says. “There’s a
whole world behind gift-giving that goes very close to the
basics of living together.” Gift giving, after all, is a physical
symbol of a personal relationship and an expression of
social ties that bring individuals together.
Far from being voluntary, the 20th century French
sociologist Marcel Mauss argues that presents are tied up
with strict obligations. “To refuse to give, to fail to invite,
just as to refuse to accept, is tantamount to declaring war;
it is to reject the bond of ___________ and ___________,”
he wrote in his 1925 essay “The Gift.” A present is a token
of a relationship and a wish to continue that relationship
and so, in rejecting a gift, the offer of extended friendship
is also rebuffed.
This gift exchange can be summarized by the
Latin phrase: Do Ut des: “I give because I expect you to
give something back.”
We see such attitudes among families and friends,
where each person gives out presents worth roughly the
same price. This behavior is particularly obvious in the
more pressured stakes of a new romantic relationship,
where buying an overly lavish present (or a particularly
stingy one) could send the wrong signal and cause upset.
A gift doesn’t necessarily have to be exchanged
for another gift. “You don’t need to repay the things given
to you in a material way. You can also be nice or perform
some other kind of behavior,” says Mortelmans. So for
example, someone who can’t afford to buy a gift in return
might be especially affectionate or helpful.

Operations management is important. It is concerned
with creating the products and services upon which
we all depend. And creating products and services is
the very reason for any organization’s existence, whether that organization be large or small, manufacturing or service, for profit or not profit. Thankfully, most
companies have now come to understand the importance of operations. This is because they have realized
that effective operations management gives the
potential to improve revenues and, at the same time,
enables goods and services to be produced more
efficiently. It is this combination of higher revenues
and lower costs which is understandably important to
any organization.
Operations management is also exciting. It is at the
center of so many of the changes affecting the business world – changes in customer preference, changes
in supply networks brought about by internet-based
technologies, changes in what we want to do at work,
how we want to work, and so on. There has rarely
been a time when operations management was more
topical or more at the heart of business and cultural
shifts.
Operations management is also challenging. Promoting the creativity which will allow organizations to
respond to so many changes is becoming the prime
task of operations managers. It is they who must find
the solutions to technological and environmental
challenges, the pressures to be socially responsible,
the increasing globalization of markets and the difficult-to-define areas of knowledge management.
The word whether in “… , whether that organization be large or small,…”, can be replaced, without
changing its meaning, by:

TEXTIII
BABIES CAN LINK LANGUAGE AND ETHNICITY
Arecent study from Canada's University of British Columbia (UBC) suggests that eleven-month-old infants can learn to associate the
language they hear with ethnicity.
The research, published by Developmental Psychobiology, found that 11-month-old infants looked more at the faces of people of
Asian descent compared to those of Caucasian descent when hearing Cantonese but not when hearing Spanish.
“Our findings suggest that by 11 months, infants are making connections between languages and ethnicities based on the individuals
they encounter in their environments. In learning about language, infants are doing more than picking up sounds and sentences—they
also learn about the speakers of language,” said Lillian May, a psychology lecturer at UBC who was lead author of the study.
The research was done in Vancouver, where approximately nine percent of the population can speak Cantonese.
The researchers played English-learning infants of Caucasian ancestry sentences in both English and Cantonese and showed them
pictures of people of Caucasian descent, and of Asian descent. When the infants heard Cantonese, they looked more at the Asian faces
than when they were hearing English. When they heard English, they looked equally to Asian and Caucasian faces.
“This indicates that they have already learned that in Vancouver, both Caucasians and Asians are likely to speak English, but only
Asians are likely to speak Cantonese,” noted UBC psychology professor Janet Werker, the study's senior author.
The researchers showed the same pictures to the infants while playing Spanish, to see whether they were inclined to associate any
unfamiliar language with any unfamiliar ethnicity. However, in that test the infants looked equally to Asian and Caucasian faces. This
suggests young infants pick up on specific language-ethnicity pairings based on the faces and languages they encounter.
“Babies are learning so much about language—even about its social use—long before they produce their first word,” said Werker. “The
link between speaker characteristics and language is something no one has to teach babies. They learn it all on their own.” “The ability
to link language and ethnicity might help babies with language acquisition. We are now probing this possibility. For example, does a
bilingual Chinese-English baby expect Chinese words from a Southeast Asian speaker and English words from a Caucasian speaker?
Our preliminary results indicate that indeed, babies are using their expectations about language and ethnicity as another source of
information in language learning,” added Werker.
