		<description><![CDATA[The Hungarian love of freedom and independence often hardens into rugged and proud individualism, which rejects guidance or discipline, military or political. Only leaders with great personal appeal were able to unite Hungarians for any considerable length of time. When formal rejection of an authoritarian rule is not possible – though given half a chance [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[People in every culture are raised with a set of values, beliefs, and attitudes. Some are held deeply, and in many cases, they have never been questioned. Others may be negotiable or debatable. But all affect how a person receives a new message. A cross-cultural worker must ask, “What core values are my listeners assuming [...]]]></description>

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.

		<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’.

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>
