Document Summary

Individualistic beliefs are to blame for success and failures: increase in suicide, drugs, obesity. Incompatible goals, expectations, etc between interdependent parties: ambiguity, language, contradictory con ict styles. Two different cultural orientations: con ict is good. Clearing the air, getting it off your chest, etc. Thinks it brings people closer together, relieves tension: con ict is bad. Relationships are never the same again (example: if you insult someone, you can"t take it back) Four resolution styles: discussion style: direct but restrained, engagement style: direct and emotional, accommodating style: indirect and restrained. Date: 11/18/15: dynamic style: indirect and emotional. Look for the contexts in which cultural con icts happen. Country is very at; as the sea level rises, they will go under. Solution: become cultural enclave in predominately muslim country, want to remain own country. Ugly american : after ww2, usa was not as destroyed as other countries, so adopted a super-sized ego.
