Response to Chapter 7_Ben

While I read the new chapter, I found that the idea of long term and short term orientation were interesting. It  was a part of the theory of this book, I have a little bit confuse about the principle of theory. Although the chapter listed the characteristics of those ideas, it cannot really show the fact. For example, I felt surprised that the Concern with "face" and having sense of shame belonged to short term and long term orientation, because those were the features of Chinese society. It meant Chinese society belonged to long term and short term orientation at the same time? It's a interesting topic. 

I believed that this book would eventually shape the characteristics of different countries in different ways through the different principles, I also looking forward to the group which will lead the discussion tomorrow, I hope that the discussion will explain more details of this chapter.
