Differences Excite Our Brains
• Despite the belief that culture differences present an obstacle to cooperation must of us find them exciting
• Our brains like to find differences that are outside of our normal experience
• Different cultures are usually treated with curiosity when there is not perceived conflict/discomfort*
*Sometimes conflict/discomfort is still viewed as sensational after the fact

Geert Hofstede Dutch Social Psychologist Cultural Filters first described in his research for IBM in the 70’s. Research has been continued into the present
(Culture is) the unwritten rules of how we do these things differ from one human group to another. "Culture" is how we call these unwritten rules about how to be a good member of the group. Culture provides moral standards about how to be an upstanding group member; it defines the group as a "moral circle". It inspires symbols, heroes, rituals, laws, religions, taboos, and all kinds of practices - but its core is hidden in unconscious values.* *Emphasis added by me (John)

Things to Remember
• The Geert-Hoffstede model describes national cultures but not individuals
• It is a convenient way to describe a filter like the Geert-Hoffstede culture model but there are other models as well
• It does not describe history and the background of a culture which is worth understanding as well
