Part:-

Base on my CMi results, compared to my group, I can make the following analysis of 4 of my dimensions / Polarities, First Status, I become more achieve which mean I like to work hard to get what I want and I can do many great things, so compared to my group I say that almost of my group like my way which to achieve by hard work is better than get by easy way.

Second Expression, I see in my CMi result that I'm conceal which I like to hide some information specially if its privacy. In addition, I can see most of my group more like to be concealing because they know that mean of privacy of the people.

Third Communication, in my result I know I'm slightly from side of direct which I like to talk people face to face sometime and that will allow to me to know true even if it hurt. Also, most of my groups are like to be slightly direct and there little of them very direct.

Forth Decision make: - My result show that I'm slightly like to make my decision in relationship because some time rules can make a lot of problem and whose know may be can destroy a good relationship , which that little of my group like to make decision based on the relationship more than rules.

At the end of the result I can say I agree of the result because that who I'm an I like to slightly now, but whose know may be I will try to change to make balance between every things in the dimension like to be close from middle or may in the middle for example not every time you need to choose to follow the rules or not because it depend in the situation you are on it.    

Part 3:-

My result will change in the future because people will never stay the same. I will change my dimension because I like to be closer from middle to make a good balance between people and even in my life. In addition, life is allow change and evolve with that people also change even I because of that I believe I will change big change in my especially when I get marriage.  

I decide to change everything in the dimension to make it better especially in outlook because I want to more tradition and I don't have main to be far from innovation. Also, I want context to be more formal.

Exercise #4 Cultural Dimensions/(Asian)

Asian community is one of society that likes people to have a good relationship between them and focus in Universal, but Asian don't like people to be independent self.

clearly from what I read we can know that some culture follow their traditional to keep the relationship between people and make them know each other more which that make them think to help each other to solve their problem, but Unfortunately some other culture believe in simple rules to organize their choices in life which that make their thinking limited and Follow the role is better.

For example in Japan for community that is children of the Japanese change their behavior depended of understand own family because that wills a part of traditional.
