This last week's class, we focused on uncertainty avoidance that was connected to our weekly readings. The group that presented did an excellent job with their ice breaker. Everyone was fully engaged and wanted to fully participate. Also, in the way they presented the topic was very organized and well though-out. It was interesting seeing whether or not who/why if we had high/low uncertainty avoidance.With my test, I knew that I had a very low uncertainty avoidance. I have been more self-aware and have done more self-reflection this year than I have ever been. I knew that I was very lax about many things and that I fully embrace change and actually look forward to it. Not only that, but it takes me a really long time to get mad, so simple things that irritate, annoy, or anger people, I can easily slide within seconds. After taking the test, I still had low uncertainty test.

I think that the people who raise us, people we are surrounded we, our culture, environment, all have a great affect whether or not we will have a high/low uncertainty. I have a family who is very open to change, loves traveling, and purposely talks to strangers everyday, very lax about everything, and that is the same people I surround myself with. Not only that, but being Filipinos. We are known for being very charismatic, open, and welcoming. Culture, family, friends, and my environment has definitely affected whether or not I have a high/low uncertainty avoidance. Is it just me? Or can others relate to this?
