Tasha, thanks for writing an informative post discussing the similarities and differences of Canada, Brazil and Mexico as compared to the USA.

However, I have a few dissenting views as I see both the US and Canada having a strong propensity towards Sequential Time as opposed to Synchronous Time. Sequential Time is defined as one who puts high priority on punctuality, planning and schedules.

Therefore, Communitarianism believes in the group cohesiveness and long-term commitment to group members above self-interest of the individual. Not only are individuals in a Collectivist or a Communitarian society loyal to group members, studies indicate findings according to market researchers that members in Communitarian cultures, such as Brazil and Mexico are loyal to brands, more so than consumers from an individualistic, achieve oriented society. such as US and Canada (Leng, & Botelho, 2010). Also, because Brazil and Mexico are both Collectivist or Communitarian societies, this author believes that both nations relate to their environments by using External directions, as this construct is a means of relating to the environment providing members with the resources of promoting the group welfare in taking responsibility for one’ work to achieve organizational goals (Beekun, Stedham, &

Contrast between Chile and USA During my whole life I’ve been back and forth, living between Chile and USA. I’ve lived in both countries for almost the same amount of years each.

This situation is what is mostly known as the American Ignorance where its population is unaware of the events of the other countries. Some theorists have tried to explain the incidences in that once a population is made aware of a complex issue the society attempts to solve the same problem through ignorance. This theory makes sense since Americans attribute a neighbor like the Mexico to issues like drugs and immigration menaces. Therefore, the negative public mentality prompts a proportion of the population to avoid creating a positive interest in knowing more about these countries. The same can be said about Canada with their different policies that conflict with their policies.

Co-culture is a group of people that exist along with dominant cultures, those in the “co-culture” still remain connected through cultural heritage though. Collectivism involves focusing mainly on a group’s views and needs rather than the individual’s. Collectivism can affect co-cultures because it does not focus on one individual at a time but the whole group.

As a matter of fact, this common phrase has become an increasingly common issue in today’s society. Most individuals simply stick to the “comfort zone” of the communities they belong in, without ever feeling the need to branch-out to explore the countless other cultures that make up the world.
