Document Summary
The shared way of life of a group of people . We might be able to assimilate a new culture when going overseas. There is no discrimination as to which is better. It is unique to the person, society and country. Awareness of the inevitable death of self is a motivator for self-esteem, ethnicity, religion and even love: the creation of a shared reality. Security that others also experience the world in the same way. We share common values and views of the world which promotes a feeling of belongingness: an unintended by-product of interpersonal interaction. Social influence occurs in any act of communication. Nationality = belonging to a particular nation, a political concept (you can become a nationality of another but still hold your previous culture) They"re their sole focus: collectivism - focus is on the people around them. = a person"s origins, including nationality the society.
