Bali Versus America
The list of various cultures spanning the globe is immense. Cultures be influenced and driven by a extraordinary language and style all their own. The land of Bali and the States ar marooned by thousands of miles and puzzle credit lineing differences in what is viewed as acceptable behaviors and mannerisms. run-in barriers can form walls of separation between what is paganly acceptable in these two countries. These cultures develop influential appearances of living that are firm rooted in tradition.I will discuss the different attitudes and in-born beliefs surrounding the surmount of politeness as well as the issue of confrontational behaviors. The office deal communicate goes beyond the different languages spoken in the States and Bali. . For example, an American woman with mixed decent of Italian and Jewish/Hungarian was elevated in the hustle and bustle of pertly York City. If we placed her in Bali, she would be viewed as an outcast. Its her New-York-Minute attitud e where she needs to be slow and outspoken to get her point across and get what she wants, both in the workplace and in her leisure.Some Americans might be taken aback by her husky attitude and view it her in-your-face attitude as haughty and barbarian. Other people, however, would simply see her as another American act to make her place in society. The discussions surrounding polite behaviors in America take on differing viewpoints in Comparison to the people of Bali. Americans can be very intense and, consort to people of Bali, they would be seen as prideful and out-of-control. Its the American demeanor and body language that is also so different from the Bali culture.It is also common knowledge among certain Jewish families in America to expect an individual to stand up for her rights and be instinctive to object to views that oppose her Jewish way of life. Many Americans are evaluate to be confrontational and argumentative. This is not a choice, simply instead a way of life for many Americans and a heathenish expectation. Then, if we venture to the charming landscapes of Bali, we let a much more complacent society. In fact, ablaze arguments are almost never even heard of in Bali. The people of Bali are very kind, soft-spoken and set in their way of screening great approve to one another.A linguist living in Bali for legion(predicate) years can attest to this. Try to take the pleasant, soft-spoken ethnical demeanor back to New York City and a lovely Balinese traveller might discover that the congested, faced-paced whirlwind known as New York is too meretricious and offensiveeven instilling a sense of fear in an individual. A person will discover, dependent on how deeply-rooted they are in their cultural origin, be it in America or Bali, that they must accommodate if they want to survive and succeed in a society with much(prenominal) bare contrasts to ones homeland.Regardless of the language barriers found in dialogue, contrast is furthe red and muddled-over by the cultural influences that are sewn into family tradition. From the same token, many AmericansNew Yorkers includedcan also feel the fear-factor begin to kindle nasty feelings if they are immersed in a soft-spoken culture such as Bali. The people of Bali would be very apprehensiveeven shockedby how American treat one another. The people of Bali view politeness and respect very highly. Bali people would wonder how Americans can function by the way they are so rude and offensive to one another.Par to this apprehension stems from a combination of cultural-language elements for one, the attitude surrounding confrontation and arguments in America and Bali are so different that they would cause great problems if an American were to move to Bali and vice-versa. Then, when this manaclesregardless of how small it might beis compounded with foreign cultural influence, a resulting sense of fear is likely to occur. The Bali people would be the ones who are fearful of the Americans aggressiveness.If an American were to move to Bali, she would also be culturally shell-shocked but from a different perspective. The Bali people would not oppose to the Americans rudeness and lack of sensitivity. Thereby making it about impossible for an American to succeed in this country American cultures and Bali cultures find argument to be influential, but with contrasting expectations. Life is meant to be enkindle and filled with excitement. Its a means of opening up and communion ones personal beliefs that are paramount to success in this culture.Americans are brought up in a society that almost requires aggressiveness. sometimes this aggressiveness does not consider being polite. It is ignored, at least according to the people of Bali. Bali people, in fact, might deem this behavior as rude and self-serving. This, in turn, can put people on the defensive, sensing the need to act guarded or cautious when immersed in American cultural beliefs. In closing, it is apparent that the various cultures differences surrounding polite mannerisms and confrontation in the work place and on the home front are starkly different.Its a different ways of experiencing life. The language barriers are but one challenge that people face if they choose to live or work in a country other than the one they were raised in. As this world becomes more and more global, on both descent and family fronts, its easy to see that a person doesnt have to travel out of her own country to experience another culture. The stark contrast of cultural influence is but another step toward get together this planet as we seek ways to work and live together, harmoniously.
