		<description><![CDATA[Hungarians have never built pyramids, ruled slave empires, and conquered new worlds. They are a proud, strange and lonely people.

Hungarians live in the Carpathian basin and just about everywhere else, engaged in all possible (and some impossible) occupations.
No two Hungarians are alike, and yet the magnetism of their diversity seems to bring them together: Hungarians [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Personal and national honor or integrity is a cardinal virtue in the Hungarian moral spectrum. Keeping one’s given word is an obligation overriding most other considerations, including political expediency. This is why the Hungarians never changed sides during international conflicts, however advantageous it may have been to do so.

		<description><![CDATA[Hungarians like calling themselves the &#8220;Defenders of Christian Europe’ for having fought the eastern and southern pagan aggressors for a thousand years.
Such religious altruism is hardly an immanent characteristic of these formerly pagan nomads. Nor did we choose this role out of proselyte fervor in order to &#8220;expiate&#8221; former pagan aggressiveness. This task was rather [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The proverbial Magyar dissension and lack of perseverance are probably the legacy of those Turkic tribes which frequently formed short-lived nomadic empires bent on the conquest of the world and soon in collapse for no apparent reason. The dreamy, unrealistic optimism, the expectation of miracles is, perhaps, a tradition handed over by the stargazing poets [...]]]></description>

An interesting approach from a Hungarian Journalist, Norbert Izsák
Wherever we may go, we always find people living in other countries. Sometimes they do business in another culture, sometimes they are involved in charity, but no matter what their purposes are, they try to find a home in a foreign land.

		<description><![CDATA[Key questions in the areas of Individualism, Power-distance and Uncertainty avoidance.
INDIVIDUALISM
Hungarians are humanistic thinkers and people-oriented, yet free-spirited, stubborn individualists. Key questions in this area: How to build trust in a Hungarian, and how to motivate a Hungarian? How can you increase vision and create a feeling of ownership?
POWER DISTANCE
