1.What did you find to be the most interesting or challenging concept in your readings regarding Hofstedes dimensions of culture?
The most underlying concept which is found from Hostedes dimension of culture is that all the cultures around the world have aspects which are harmful to comcommunication and others which promote communication. For example, the high individualism cultures such as the United States and Australia enable everyone in society to have access to communication based on the understanding that every individual has a right to express his or her views, because “you are not socially defined by your family name”, (Jandt, 2010, p. 165).

For instance, the activity orientation, bases the view the view of encouraging practicality, on Islam. The American cultural patterns are also has religion as an a important foundation for many practices. However there seems to be an overt control of the everyday life by religion, within the Arab cultural pattern.
