The Lewis Model Explains Every Culture In The World

Envisage the difference of each culture
After reading the article named The Lewis Model Explains Every Culture in the World, a scene come to my eyes: during a meeting, Germans and Swiss are planning things rigorously, Italians and Latin Americans are talking loudly with their bodies dancing, Chinese and Japanese are listening quietly. But not everyone in those country are the same. Germans can be active, and a Chinese may talk excitedly in a meeting. That doesn’t mean there is a stereotype in the article written by Gus Lubin, but can help us comprehend a country or a culture better when we don’t know it at first. The whole article are talking about the difference between each types of people that from different country, such as their reactions,
For example, if you have a meeting with a Chinese tomorrow, you may know he or she could be polite and you would not talk so loudly. But if the man or woman you’ll meet tomorrow is from Latin America or Italy, you’d better be active and talk louder. Knowing these things could make you more welcome, even could make you succeed in the coming business.

On the contrary, an American would celebrate it by cheering or held a party. Maybe the Japanese method is polite, but it will
Western people regard bread or meat as their staple food. Eastern people like Chinese, Japanese and Koreans would have rice every meal. There are also some conflicts in diet between countries and countries. For example, in India, people think cattle is their god and the people there would never have beef as their food. So they usually eat chicken and pork. But in all the Islam countries like Pakistan, Syria and Arab, they would never eat pork because of their doctrine. Muslims think pig is the filthiest thing in the world, and eating pork is unacceptable. If an Indian businessman doesn’t know these things, how could he deal with a Muslim man. Of if a Muslim host serve an Indian with beef, the Indian would think the Muslim is ignorant or inimical. Furthermore, in the Muslim country, women in the street should wear a black gown that only with their eyes come out. It’s impolite for a man to stare at people’s eyes, especially a married woman in Muslim country. Knowing these things would make you a better tourist or a better
