The nature of mankind
What is the quality of humanity?
Mainstream US culture is upbeat insofar as it is arrogated that whatever accomplishment is realizable if worked for, and that humanity is finally perfectible - as the millions of assist books and videos commercialized every year evidence.
However this presumption of perfectibility does not specify that the American is equally optimistic about his/her inverse numbers in day-to-day encounters. The fact that the negotiating group regularly includes legal personnel implies care that the opposite party will renege on an agreement if given ambiguity.
More Europeans assume a more negative approach towards human trait. They display a greater distrust of experts, and presume that human motivations are more complex than do North Americans.
This is echolike in a predilection for more interwoven cognitive representations of behavior and thus more intricate structures than are established in North American structures.
Relationship to nature
What is the person's relationship to nature?
Up until lately, US culture has in the main realized the human as separate from nature, and entitled to use it. Such activities as mining, blocking watercourses for hydro-electric power, analysing and preparation to control weather activities, genetical technology, all demonstrate a need for control.
But lately, the populace has become more conscious of needs to preserve the environs, and this is mirrored in corporate marketing policies and the growth of "reclaimable" and "biodegradable" products.
Mostly, perceptions of control are mirrored in a readiness to cope with human psychology, and human relations. An instance is provided by policy organized to adjust an organizational culture.
In comparability, Arab culture minds to be highly fatalistic towards attempts to change or ameliorate the world. Humankind can do trivial on its own to accomplish success or avert adversity.
