		<description><![CDATA[One European businessman said, “Hungarians are wonderful people socially, but you better be careful when you do business with them. They do not have the same kind of ethics as in the West. Culturally and socially they are western, but in the way they do business they are more Eastern than Western. They always want [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is an obvious cultural difference between European and North American cultures, is feedback and in relation to this, the concept of self-esteem. It is important in the US workplace to know how one is doing and how one is perceived, and feedback is generally conveyed spontaneously and generously. It can at times be negative [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It helps to understand the differences in European values and attitudes by thinking in geographical terms, what Richard Hill calls the ‘Macro-Divides’. There are at least three: the Island-Continent Divide, the East-West Divide and, for want of a better description, the ‘South-North Incline’. Europe&#8217;s cultural mosaic is a rich and extraordinary one. The differences throughout [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[According to many Europeans and Asians, American friendships are superficial: Americans do not know what true friendship is; they seem very friendly at first, but the friendships do not grow. Recently, I was away from home on a business trip. My husband suddenly had to go away too. There would be one afternoon when neither [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cultures with a high level of uncertainty-avoidance prefer stable rules and long-lasting relationships. Any uncertainty can express itself in higher anxiety than those from low uncertainty avoidance cultures. Compared to English people and North Americans, Hungarians have a significantly stronger tendency to avoid life’s uncertainties. This means that new situations, unknown people or circumstances cause [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The West is, by in large, a goal-oriented society while the East is relationship-oriented. In other words, a Westerner gains value from the product, while the Easterner gains value from the relationship. Hungarians by and large fall in the middle, with growing individualistic tendencies. We are gradually becoming selfish, like the rest of the &#8220;successful&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cultural differences manifest themselves in a culture&#8217;s choices of symbols, heroes/heroines, rituals, and values: essential patterns of thinking, feeling and acting that are well-established by late childhood. During 1978-83, the Dutch cultural anthropologist Geert Hofstede conducted detailed interviews with hundreds of IBM employees in 53 countries. Through standard statistical analysis of fairly large data sets, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Foremost, let us establish the fact that this is not written from a Hungarian point of view. No doubt, as small children, Hungarians are taught this overly familiar type of greeting and see nothing wrong with placing their lips on the cheeks of the most far-flung acquaintances. Therefore, we must focus on the American expatriate [...]]]></description>

Opinions vary greatly from country to country and the subject is often a source of great debate.

		<description><![CDATA[Where do the fundamental traits of the different European cultures come from? The dotted lines on the map of Europe are in many cases the product of historical accident: primarily acts of violence, but also dynastic marriages or sheer happenstance. Still, our frontiers rarely conform to the cultural realities. You may find strikingly different social [...]]]></description>
