Cultures differ from one place to another and it is hard to adapt with easily. Last week I saw a movie about two different cultures; USA and India and about outsourcing from USA. Outsourcing is something easy to do by big companies but it is really hard for other people from other countries because when the company will reach the goal needed they will just shot down and fire everybody.
Todd’s work visit to India was really bad and miserable because it was really hard for him to adapt with their culture. First of all, in the airport he was not happy because he was amazed from the people and how they are dirty. After that, he was invited to auntie Jis house instate of staying in the hotel. He had tough time to learn about their culture because it is completely different. Their clothes, food, and the way of eating because Indians eat with their right hand and use their left in the bathroom. He experienced culture shock really bad because he had to stay and meet the company’s goal. Next, a child stole his phone and ran away. Todd felt really bad because of the bad weather, people, and the work environment. Finally, he met with a girl and felt in love with. He called his mother so that he forget the culture shock. After a couple of days the company met their goal and he had to go back to the US. Todd was really sad that he left India and he will miss the girl he met out there. There a lot of examples from the movie about Hofstede’s laws about high and low power distance and this was when Todd was having his conversation with his boss. Also, feminity when Todd proved it differently and told Aisha to be the future vice president.
