Exercise #4 – World Cultures/ World Choices

Is the American obsession with individual freedom really such a great idea? What other cultures know about how to make good choices.

Absolutely, it’s great idea not only for American but to the whole world. I studied in America 2 years ago. I talked to my black instructor about freedom. He said to me, finally, our children will live in pace. I surprised when he said that and I immediately asked him why. He said that he suffer a lot 30 years ago. He said to me that white people look at him like monster and they not allow to eat in restaurant or to inter to any place to shop. Also he said that most white people educate them incorrect information about back people. For ex. One of the white people looked at him in strange way for 3 months. After these 3 months, he came to my instructor and said “ do you have tail “.

UAE is one of the culture who is following US lead to freedom.

How does Culture/ and the 12 Dimensions influence:

             Life Choices ?

          Thinking ?

            The changing in culture is lead to change in our life choices and thinking also. For example Emiratis are thinking and acting different than American. Also, 12 Dimensions effect every single culture in the world. Starting with communication, which is direct in our community because some time indirect communication is going to lead to misunderstanding for both side. For accountability, UAE is using community when it come with group work even with mixed environment . On the other hand other country like Pakistan using individual because there have no open mind and limited thinking
