Recognizing Culture The GLOBE Study identified 9 dimensions of Culture which you shouldreview before completing this assignment. (see page 141 in the Kinicki& Williams text or class slides for descriptions). For this assignment, you will need to first watch the following TEDx Talk by Pellegrino Riccardi: Pellegrino describes culture as what is “accepted and familiar†inour lives. In his talk, he gives numerous “artifacts†where it ishighly visible how different cultures handle common situations such asdriving, waiting in line (queuing), providing service, negotiatingrules, communicating with one another, and many other exaples. For this assignment, you need to identify 3 different “artificats†which Pellegrino discusses in his talk. I would like you to identify which of the 9 GLOBE “values†you believe may be causing each artifact that you identify. For example: At 6:43 Pellegrino shows a picture of the King of Norway on atrain sitting in what appears to be coach along with other passengers.Even though he is a king, he is treated no differently than the otherpassengers. This is an “artifact†.The cultural value(s) which may likely be causing this artifact are“Power-Distance†In particular, this may be an example of low powerdistance as the king is treated equally to the commoners. Similarly,this could be “Humane Orientation†or a high level of humane orientationas this really displays an emphasis on fairness in the way the kingtreats others. This assignment does not require a great deal of writing, but youshould be sure to provide some justification for your answers. Youshould identify three (3) different artifacts which Pellegrino mentionsin the video and describe which cultural value(s) you believe might becausing each artifact. Submit your response as a Microsoft Word .doc or .docx file. You may bullet point your answer ,so long as you provide some justification to clearly indicate why youbelieve a given artifact is associated with a specific cultural value. This is a critical thinking activity. I do believe that it will be challenging for some students. Do your best.
