The nine basic ways that cultures differ:
(1) I control or I’m controlled;
(2) me-first or us-first;
(3) tight ties or loose ties;
(4) achievement-first or people-first;
(5) equality or not;
(6) take risks or play it safe;
(7) time: step-by-step or dive-right-in;
( 8 ) space: come close or back off;
(9) communication: direct or indirect
