Identify and discuss the seven areas of social behavior that vary among cultures.

First is attitudes toward work and success.In the United States,for instance,a widespread view is that material comfort earned by individual effort is a sign of superiority and that people who work hard are better than those who don't.Second is roles and status.Culture influences the roles people play,including who communicates with whom,what they communicate,and in what way.Culture also dictates how people show respect and signify rank.Next is the use of manners.What is polite in one culture may be considered rude in another.Fourth is the concept of time.People in low-context cultures see time as a way to plan the business day efficiently,often focusing on only one task during each scheduled period and viewing time as a limited resource.However,executives from high-context cultures often see time as more flexible.Additionally,future orientation varies among cultures.Some societies encourage a long-term outlook that emphasizes planning and investing-making sacrifices in the short term for the promise of better outcomes in the future.Others are oriented more toward the present.Next is the concept of openness and inclusiveness.Cultures vary on how open they are to accepting people from other cultures and people who don't necessarily fit the prevailing norms within the culture.Lastly,cultures vary in their use of communication tools.Although mobile phone usage is high in most countries around the world,the percentage of users with smartphones and the broadband service required for communication services such as video varies widely.
