cultural-individual, personal-sociocontextual, differencessimilarities, static-dynamic, future-past, and privilegedisadvantage. The cultural (collectivist)-individual dialectic
can be observed by comaring U.S. and Chinese cultures. The
U.S. values individualism and we often put our own needs
before those of a group. In China, people believe that they
are secondary to the good of their family and culture.
In a similar way, research has highlighted the differences
between German culture and British culture in respect to
disagreement preference. German culture does not see
conflict as something to be avoided, enjoys a heated debate,
and appreciates when people have an opinion. British
culture, along with New Zealand and Main Land Chinese
culture, seeks to avoid disagreement, constantly looks for
common ground, restrains emotions, and sees disagreement
as a precursor to conflict. Can you think back to a time when
you misinterpreted someones interntions based on culture?
