Слайд 2

PERSONAL CONTROL OVER THE ENVIRONMENT.
People can/should control nature, their own environment

and destiny. The future
is not left to fate.
Result: An energetic, goal-oriented society.

Слайд 3

CHANGE / MOBILITY.
Change is seen as positive and good. This means

progress, improvement and
growth.
Result: An established transient society geographically, economically and socially.

Слайд 4

TIME AND ITS IMPORTANCE.
Time is valuable - achievement of goals depends

on the productive use of time.
Result: An efficient and progressive society often at the expense of interpersonal relationships.

Слайд 5

EQUALITY / EGALITARIANISM.
People have equal opportunities; people are important as individuals,

for who
they are, not from which family they come.
Result: A society where little deference is shown or status is acknowledged.

Слайд 6

INDIVIDUALISM, INDEPENDENCE AND PRIVACY.
People are seen as separate individuals (not group

members) with individual needs.
People need time to be alone and to be themselves.
Result: Americans may be seen as self-centered and sometimes isolated and lonely.

Слайд 7

COMPETITION AND FREE ENTERPRISE.
Americans believe competition brings out the best in

people and free enterprise
leads to progress and produces success
Result: Competition is emphasized over cooperation.

Слайд 8

FUTURE ORIENTATION / OPTIMISM.
Americans believe that, regardless of past or present,

the future will be better and
happier.
Result: Americans place less value on past events and constantly look ahead to tomorrow.

Слайд 9

ACTION AND WORK ORIENTATION.
Americans believe that work is morally right; that

it is immoral to waste time.
Result: There is more emphasis on "doing" rather than "being". This is a
no-nonsense attitude toward life.

Слайд 10

INFORMALITY.
Americans believe that formality is "un-American" and a show of

arrogance and
superiority.
Result: A casual, egalitarian attitude between people is more accepted.

Слайд 11

DIRECTNESS / OPENNESS / HONESTY.
One can only trust people who

"look you in the eye" and "tell it like it is". Truth is a
function of reality not of circumstance.
Result: People tend to tell the "truth" and not worry about saving the other
person's "face" or "honor".

Слайд 12

PRACTICALITY / EFFICIENCY.
Practicality is usually the most important consideration when decisions

are to be
made.
Result: Americans place less emphasis on the subjective, aesthetic, emotional or
consensual decisions.

Слайд 13

MATERIALISM / ACQUISITIVENESS.
Material goods are seen as the just rewards of

hard-work, the evidence of "God's favor."
Result: Americans are seen as caring more for things than people or relationships.
