I am going to talk about the first cultural dimension ,individualism and collectivism.
In an individualistic culture , people tend to emphasize the l more than WE.
They value more what an individual wants than what the group want.
On the other hand , in a collectistic culture,people tend to value group harmony.
And look at this bar chart,can you guess which one is Taiwan?
It shows that the UK is more individualistic than Taiwan.
In Taiwan , we usually coorperate with other people. Our society fosters strong
relationships, where everyone takes responsibility for our group member.
The British are a highly Individualist and private people. Children are taught from an
early age to think forz themselves and to find out what their unique purpose in life is
and how they uniquely can contribute to society. The route to happiness is through
personal fulfillment.
I am going to talk about what kinds of difficulties we may encounter when we are
living in the UK .
I think language is not a serious problem.
To me , the weather is a very big problem.Because the weather in Taiwan is warm.
And in the UK . It snow in winter. I can’t stand the cold weather there.
And food in the UK is different from Taiwan.rice is staple food in Taiwan.However,in
uk the staple food are meat fish and patapo.
And in terms of education , they emphasize independent learning . in class, teachers
usually interact with students. However ,student in Taiwan are good at exam.but we
seldom interact with teacher in class. So if I stuby in the uk , I may have difficultie in
adapting their teaching mode.
