- Eine andere Überschrift
Your Moderators for this module is Arnold from Germany
- Aim: Our next topic will be about Dimensions of Culture where we will try to see what makes cultures unique in order to prepare you more for the changes in the foreign culture. We will look at a few dimensions and define them and then give a few examples.
In dealing with Dimensions of culture we will be trying to get an idea of what makes one culture different and special from another. Feel free to have your own opinion. The little quiz at the end will be just to test your understanding of the topic.
It will be interesting to know from you which cultures you think might have changed their dimensions in the last few years.
