Differences in the enabling context such as level of legal enforcement or regulatory oversight?
Is agreeing on a set of shared values enough to resolve
differences in cultural understandings of those values?
Think of someone whom you think of as VERY different from
yourself. When have you agreed with them about something
significant? What values do you share with them? What made it
possible/easier for you to find agreement with them in this
instance?
Have you ever worked across cultures, or lived in a different
culture than the one you were raised in? If so, have you
encountered significant differences or conflicts? If so, what were
they based upon? (e.g., actual differences in individual “values”?
Differences in the enabling context such as level of legal
enforcement or regulatory oversight? Other causes?) Have you seen
examples of workable approaches for addressing these
differences?
Think of a time when you have, in fact, effectively
voiced/enacted your values, either in the workplace or elsewhere in
your wider lives – student clubs, internships, study groups, sport
teams, classroom, etc.
What can you do to maximize the “enablers” and avoid/transform
the “inhibitors” in your future experiences?
Think about a time when you did not, in fact, voice/enact your
values. Now that you have identified the “enablers” and
“inhibitors,” as well as the ways to maximize the “enablers” and
minimize the “inhibitors”, how might you respond effectively if you
had a chance for a “do-over”?
