Work Place Questionare
Your score is 36 on a scale of 0 to 100 = Preference for Tolerance for Ambiguity
Your score indicates that you have a moderate Tolerance for Ambiguity and might be willing to give up job security for more opportunity. In countries/cultures with a Tolerance for Ambiguity, conflict in organizations is perceived as natural, and rules may be broken for pragmatic reasons. If you work in countries/cultures with a Need for Certainty, such as Japan, France, and Greece, you might react by creating a micro-environment that would shield you from the burden of what you might perceive as excessive structures, rules, and regulations. In countries with a high Need for Certainty, loyalty to an employer is seen as an advantage; a specialist career is preferred over a career in management.
The countries you requested are listed below. The numbers in parentheses refer to the country scores as listed by Professor Geert Hofstede in his book Culture's Consequences:
Canada (48) Tolerance for Ambiguity, a moderate preference for an entrepreneurial environment which is less bound by rules and regulations
Japan (92) Need for Certainty, a strong preference for an environment that is more structure-oriented, and where rules, roles and management practices are clear and unambiguous
I agree with this result. Because I don't have entrepreneurial ability...

welcome to colgate university student
I missed this home work. so I do now.
Your homework is to write about the student you talked to today. Describe their answers to the topics you discussed. Try to exchange e-mails or give your blog address to the Colgate University student and keep a dialogue going after the class. Have fun.
I talked a girl who was the same age as us. we talked about daily life like family, fashion, part time job or something like that. I think her opinion was close or same to ours. we had a good time. After this class, I talked to her on the Internet. I was glad she also had a good time with us.

Greeting
Homework
Q;How do you greet people in your life? Is it different for different people? How so and why? Do you touch people when you talk to them? Why? Or Why not?
A; When I greet people, I say hi, Hello, bow, and sometimes shake hands. And, Yes, I change how to greet for different people. For example, I see someone at first time, I say nice to meet you, and bowing. If the situation is in formaly, I'll shake hands, because it's the Japanese culture and traditional way. I sometimes touch my close friends' shoulder with greate affection. However I don't hug like Americans. Because I feel uncomfortable, I mean I'm embarassed in Japan.
