10/8 Culture

Today we talked about culture in my corporate class.  It was very interesting to see how their priorities changes as we talked.  At first they listed institutions, the economy, and religion.  But as we got deeper into the discussion, the priorities became language, food, transportation and behavior.  Four hours later, I think we all came to the general, if not much disputed, consensus that language, religion, behavior, food and institutional policies are the first things to research when going to a new country.
