The text also cites early research that describes different cultural \u2018orientations\u2019 on dimensions like high to low context communication, individualism to collectivism, short to long term time sense, and levels of uncertainty tolerance, and power distance. What do you think about these cultural \u2018orientations\u2019 from your own cultural perspective?\n<\/p>\n<p>Recommended: Do Exercises 2-5 at the end of Chapter 18.4, which invite you to continue exploring cultural values as they are expressed in film media.  What other cultural \u2018orientations\u2019 do you notice in your film selections besides individualist and community-centred perspectives?\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/p>\n<p><!-- \nNewPP limit report\nCPU time usage: 0.012 seconds\nReal time usage: 0.014 seconds\nPreprocessor visited node count: 109\/1000000\nPreprocessor generated node count: 774\/1000000\nPost\u2010expand include size: 3238\/2097152 bytes\nTemplate argument size: 1805\/2097152 bytes\nHighest expansion depth: 7\/40\nExpensive parser function count: 0\/100\n--><\/p>\n<p><!-- Saved in parser cache with key we_en-mw_:pcache:idhash:178111-0!*!*!*!*!2!* and timestamp 20210505013840 and revision id 1011128\n -->\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"visualClear\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-12\">\n<ul class=\"pager\">\n<li class=\"previous\">\n            <a href=\"\/ccom103\/learning-pathways\/communicating-across-difference\/video-signpost-cultural-groups\">\u2190 Previous<\/a>\n          <\/li>\n<li class=\"next\">\n            <a href=\"\/ccom103\/learning-pathways\/communicating-across-difference\/overcoming-communication-barriers\">Next \u2192<\/a>\n          <\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"wenote-ids\"><script type='text\/javascript' id='wenotes-ids'>\n    var WEnotesSite = \"https:\/\/wikieducator.org\";\n    var WEnotesPath = \"\/Intercultural_communication_teamwork_and_leadership\/Communicating_across_difference\/Divergent_cultural_characteristics\";\n    var WEnotesSiteID = \"0e3d258fbd36841f92259eefcd41d5e9\";\n    var WEnotesPathID = \"778a1855340e2da56ce915391a15596f\";\n    var WEnotesIDs = { site: \"https:\/\/wikieducator.org\", path: \"\/Intercultural_communication_teamwork_and_leadership\/Communicating_across_difference\/Divergent_cultural_characteristics\", site_id: \"0e3d258fbd36841f92259eefcd41d5e9\", path_id: \"778a1855340e2da56ce915391a15596f\" };\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer><\/footer>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2190 Previous Next \u2192<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":790,"featured_media":0,"parent":2814,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2834","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/course.oeru.org\/ccom103\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2834","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/course.oeru.org\/ccom103\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/course.oeru.org\/ccom103\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/course.oeru.org\/ccom103\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/790"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/course.oeru.org\/ccom103\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2834"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/course.oeru.org\/ccom103\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2834\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2835,"href":"https:\/\/course.oeru.org\/ccom103\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2834\/revisions\/2835"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/course.oeru.org\/ccom103\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2814"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/course.oeru.org\/ccom103\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2834"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
