This chapter is mainly about long-term orientation and short- term orientation. I am really interested in this topic because I think somehow it's related to uncerntainty avoidance whih was talked about last week. I think people who have high uncertainty avoidance don't want to take risk and they prefer have stable lifes. Making a long- term plan for them is a really good way to forecast their life. People who tend to have lower uncertainty avoidance loves life with changes. It doesn't matter if life changes a lot. Of course, it's just one aspect of the reason that result in the different orientation.
I am quite sure that I am a person with lon- term orientation. When I was young, my mom taught me how to save money and helped me to create an account in the bank to deposit money. I won't run out of my money cause I am afraid that there will be some accidents happen but I don't have money to pay for it. Also, she taught me that making plans for my life was very important, only in this way can you achieve what you want. That's what I do in my life. Without the plan, I will feel confused.
I don't think long- term orientation is better than short- term orientation, but also I won't agree if someone said short- term orientation is better than long- term orientation. That's only the way people think of things and lead their life. Both of them have some advantages and also disadvantages. People with long-term orientation may feel too much pressure for the things in advance. However, people with short- term orientation may feel happy at that time but worried about their life after the happy time, cause they run out of money.
