Chapter 1: Thinking globally
• 5. How to resolve conflicts over worldviews?
• According to Anderson, there are basically two choices. • 1) the first is to take all worldview stories lightly. Be ready to change them or get rid of them when they are not working. • 2) the second choice is to deny the truths the other stories express, to argue for one story and against a competing one, or in some cases, to prevent the telling of other stories or living by other stories.

Case 2
During a lunch buffet at a conference in China, Fa Wu, the interpreter of the conference, sat with four foreign participants. They were having a good time talking. When Fa Wu stood up for more food, she asked whether she could bring anything back for them.
Again, the four others said, “No”.
“Oh, please take something. I can’t eat this much food myself.”
The foreigners hrugged and one or two of them even frowned a little.
Everyone thanked her and said “no”. A while later, Fa Wu came back with a plate full of food, and asked whether the others would like to have something from her plate.
Before long, people started calling them at home. David was sometimes away on business trips for a few days, and if someone looked for him, Kathy often would find the conversation awkward.

Unit 1 introduction一．文化文化是冻结了的人际交流，而交流是流动着的文化----W.B. Pearce, 1994.背景：长期以来，文化被认为是无处不在，无所不包的人类知识和行为的总体。
被笼统地当作“生活方式”，社会生活的一切方面，积淀物，价值观念体系，众多规范，乃至艺术，政治，经济，教育，修养，文学，语言，思维的总和。
概括地讲，文化即是人们所思，所言，所为，所觉的总和。
在不同的生态或自然环境下，不同的民族创造了自己特有的文化，也被自己的文化所塑造。
It is said that there are at least 150 definitions about culture.“Culture may be defined as what a society does and thinks”(Sapir, 1921)“Culture is man’s medium, there is not one aspect of human life that is not touched and altered by culture. This means personality, how people express themselves, including shows of emotion, the way they think, how they move, how problems are solved, how their cities are planned and laid out, how transportation systems function and are organized, as well as how economic and government systems are put together and fuction.” (E.T. Hall,1959)“A culture is a collection of beliefs, habits, living patterns, and behaviors which are held more or less in common by people who occupy particular geographic areas” (D.Brown, 1978)文化的特性：1). 文化是由人们的内隐和外显行为组成的。

night, you immediately called people by their first names. We do that here, but not when we first meet someone. American: That’s how we make people feel comfortable. People feel friendlier toward each other when they use first names. Englishman: It’s different here. For example, when you met my boss you should have used his last name. Also there’s something else that you do that English people don’t often do.
• A Canadian colleague and I traveled to Guilin with our admirable guide Heping Liu in very hot weather. Sightseeing is a thirsty business. We did not trust the water, and enjoyed excellent beer. We politely offered some to Heping but he refused. We said nothing and drank our beer, while poor Heping watched. On another day, Heping quickly accepted our offer of beer. Only when I saw that Heping in fact liked beer, did it occur to me to ask him why.
