Scenario: William is a truck driver for a small trucking company in an unspecified country. A recent natural disaster has left the people in a particular region of the country stranded and in need of supplies. Poor weather (frequent lightning storms and VERY low visibility due to clouds) has made it impossible for supplies to be delivered to the people by air (plane, helicopter, etc.). His manager calls him from work to ask him to drive a truck of supplies to the region in need. The owner of the company is also on the call and verbally agrees with the manager.
Today is William's day off. He is already dressed to attend his nephews wedding. So, obviously, the phone call he received is not the call he was expecting. In addition, he has been watching the news about the natural disaster. He is aware that delivering supplies to the devastated region will require him to drive on bridges that were weakened by the natural disaster and that may potentially collapse. He is also aware that, if the people dont receive any supplies in the immediate future, all of the communities in the impacted region will experience significant illness, suffering, and/or death. So, William must choose between attending his nephew's wedding or delivering the supplies to the devastated region.
1A. The correct answer to this question must come from the subsection of the lecture titled "Cross-cultural values".
There are multiple cultural values that would INCREASE the likelihood that William decides to deliver the supplies to the region in need.
i. Please choose ONE term/concept from that subsection (for terms/concepts that have multiple parts, just choose one part...meaning that, for "high context vs. low context", only choose either "high context" or "low context"; not both).
ii. Next, choose whether William is HIGH or LOW in that term (HIGH = he strongly endorses/embodies that value; LOW = he strongly opposes that value).
iii. Finally, you only need to provide ONE reason why William being HIGH (or LOW) in the term/concept you chose INCREASES the likelihood that William decides to deliver the supplies to the region in need. The expectation here is that you'll utilize some evidence from the scenario.
