culture. Additionally, different cultures possess different cultures. In addition, good
cultures have the following characteristics; reward procedures, good communication,
growth opportunities, a vibrant purpose, and learned behaviors. Further, other elements

practices. In addition, this culture questions whether rules are essential than individuals
relationships. Therefore, since it believes that circumstances determine actions, people
are flexible about applying rules in this culture. Further, because it values relationships
more than rules, depending on situations, it is evident that people have an advantage
over rules with this culture.
