Part 9. All cultures can be subdivided into two types: affective and neutral cultures. People from affective culture express their emotions more naturally. Reactions are shown immediately verbally or non-verbally by using mimic and gesture in the form of body signals.

In contrast, people from a neutral culture tend to hide away their emotions and don’t show them in public. Neutral cultures don’t express precisely and directly what they are really thinking which can lead to misunderstandings and certain emotions are considered to be improper to exhibit in certain situations. It is also considered as important not to let emotions influence objectivity and reason in decision making.

You and your family have immigrated to another country. You entered university to continue your studies. At the university you were said to choose the subject of the thesis which you would write during the studies and defend it to graduate from the university. For this purpose there was organized a faculty meeting. Unfortunately, your child got ill and you asked your husband to stay with the child. He missed his work day in order that you had a chance to participate in the meeting. When you went to the meeting, there were only several students as the others hadn’t come. The professors presented their research and gave some information about it. You were glad to choose the subject you liked. But several days later you found out that the subject you had chosen was transferred to another student who was not even present at the faculty meeting. What would you do?
