1. Think of yourself as a member of a particular geographical cultural group. (In the United States, we are conditioned to think of cultural groups based on ethnicity and race, but for this exercise, think in terms of location.) What are the characteristics of this group, because of their location? Please be specific as you describe each group.

2. Once you have an outline of your geographic culture, try to identify the group most opposite to your own. For example, if you consider yourself an a rural Oregonian, you may want to compare yourself to an urban Italian. Explain why you think these regions cultural conduct business differently. Include some specific examples of characteristics that differ between the two groups.

3. Describe the demographics, e.g., age-distribution, birthrates, literacy-rates, population density, religious affiliations, language, political orientation, e.g., capitalist, socialist, communistic, and income distribution. How do these characteristics impact business. This is not a social science or political question, this is about how different cultures engage in commerce or business, in the workforce, or as business owners. 1) Cite your source with a link and a summary of what you found in each cite. 2) Show the behavioral differences in how different cultures in diverse regions operate.
