Video Journal 10-25-11: Individual and Collectivist Cultures

1. Personality Traits:
Individual- hardworking, competitive, selfish
Collectivist- selfless, caring, social

2. I do think opinions for highly published PhD's are less likely to be challenged in both societies. However, the status given is very different. Individualist would see them both as leaders ans as competition, whereas collectivists would see them more as role models and colleagues.

3. A new teacher may find that she is no longer able to collaborate with other teachers on new assignments. Therefore, she would haveto come up with her own assignments in order to compete with the other teachers. This would cause her to be more private and selfish in her work.

4. A fellow colleague that shares the same career, interests, or beliefs. It has a negative connotation because instead of them being friends, they are merely colleagues in the same field.
