Chapter 7 is about short term and long term orientation. Short term orientation is about an outlook in the present, that they are persistent, quick to actions, traditional, believes in individualism and creativity. Long-term orientation is an outlook of long term goals, family oriented, parents and men have higher authority than women, and so forth. In the research that my partner and I had to do, in order for our presentation we found that Chinese and Asian counterparts are proned to be long term orientation, while Americans are seen to be short term orientation. As an individual who is Asian, but grew up in America, I figured that I was short term orientation. I have characteristics of a short term oriented person, but I strive to be someone who is long term oriented. Parts of why I would want to be long term oriented is because they know how to have long term goals and that they are frugal and know how to save money, likewise now, I tend to someone have outburst spontaneous spending. It was an interesting chapter to say the least.
