The adaptability theory by Denison and Mishra (1989) asserts an organization must hold a system of norms and beliefs which support the capacity of an organization to receive, interpret, and translate signals from its environment into internal behavioral changes that increase its chances for survival, growth, and development. Denison and Mishra (1989) note three aspects of adaptability that have a likely impact on an organization’s effectiveness:
1. The ability to perceive and respond to the external environment.
2. The ability to respond to internal customers.
3. The capacity to react to either internal or external forces by restructuring, and re-institutionalize a set of behaviors and process that allows the organization to adapt.
Thus, adaptability appears to be key for organizational success and the basis for other theories across a wide spectrum of topics, such as the model for organizational change mentioned by Horwath and Morrison (2000), mental health transformation studied by LeRoy, Heldring, and Desjardins (2006), and evolution researched by Pitsios (2006).

Food plays a central role in virtually every culture. To see an example of this, you do not have to look much further than your own family. What meals are prepared at important or significant times? Whether it’s turkey for Thanksgiving or cake at a wedding or birthday celebration, different cultures do have some degree of unifying theme in terms of common foods and special meals. The following link will provide you with more information: Ethnic and cultural resources .
In some countries, food is not readily available. Additionally, poverty and famine result in malnutrition, a problem that occurs in both developed and undeveloped countries.
The decline in physical activity (replaced by sedentary activities, like computer use) has contributed to the rise of obesity in the United States. Poverty may also cause obesity, as poor people tend to purchase cheaper foods which have higher processed sugar content and lower nutritive value.
A comprehensive study of culture demands that we consider the role and challenges associated with food.
