Response to Chapter 6_Michael
A new idea is presented which is called uncertainty avoidance, chapter six provides a good analysis of these ideas, individualism, power distance, collectivism, security, etc... I have discovered that the result of "uncertainty avoidance" is very different with the factors of power distance, individualism, and collectivism involved.Asiatic countries like Korea and Japan belong to strong uncertainty avoidence; differently china, and Singapore are both weak uncertainty avoidance. I have tried to see the details of the social and cultural contextual context. For example most Japanese business men work for the same companies for the rest of their lives and give high levels of loyalty to their companies. Japanese try not to create conflict and maintain face which is very long term thinking and part of the culture. United States is similar with China which belong to weak uncertainty
avoidance, a majority of the people, especially the young generations who
leaved their position after a short period and search for the other
potential occupations.
