Traits of Four Cultures
TEACHER: It's best that the different groups remain unaware of the other groups'
instructions. Cut these descriptions into strips and give copies to the appropriate group.
GROUP 1
You are an elite, martial (military-like), highly regimented people with a sense of
superiority that shows in your gestures and speech. You like organization and you like
things to be in their proper places.
When guests arrive, you take charge. Although you treat them well, you insist that they
do things your way.
GROUP 2
You are a gentle, meek, submissive people with much grace and movement in your
gestures.
When guests arrive, you treat them as if they are your superiors. You continually
apologize about the fact that you are not treating them well enough (even though you're
treating them very well).
GROUP 3
You are a very warm, friendly, expressive people with gestures that demonstrate your
warmth and friendliness.
When guests arrive, you are open and free in the way you treat them, and you try very
hard to please them. You view your guests as equals.
GROUP 4
You have a very calm, relaxed outlook on life – you are very "laid back." You are unhurried
in what you do. When guests arrive, you acknowledge their presence, and eventually you get
around to serving them. But you're not in any hurry at all.
