Cultural Value Reaction
Family values represent the three cultures in different ways. An example is “In South Korea, family ties
are based on biological continuity and ancestral worship. Mothers are seen as providing flesh and fathers
the bones of their children. Family members are expected to be loyal, respectful, and obedient to their
elders” (Asian Society, n.d.). Another example is In Greece, family is the most important unit and
provides emotional and economic support to its members. Family members are very close and maintain
frequent contact. Another example is “In Hispanic cultures, family is also a very important aspect of life
and includes not only the nuclear family but also the extended family” (Nicole Canun, 2022). This shows
that family values represent all three cultures, it shows that family is something that they value and is
important to them and it shows that they have respect for their family’s values and beliefs.
The process value represents the three cultures in different ways. An example is “Mexicans tend to value
group activities, shared responsibility, and harmony among the group this is called collectivism” (CDC,
n.d.). Another example is “Some of South Korea's process values are hard work, diligence, and
productivity, which are seen as the keys to success and social contribution” (South Korea, 2023). Another
example is “Greeks tend to value holistic education, advocating for nurturing of both the mind and body
through wisdom and physical well-being” (Greeking me, 2015). This shows that the process values that
represent the three cultures have different ways that represent their process values.
The numbers value represents the three cultures in different ways. Hispanics value mathematics and
have a scientific mindset an example of this is “In terms of mathematics, Mexico has a strong tradition of
mathematical research and education. The Mexican Mathematical Society was founded in 1944 and has
since played an important role in promoting mathematical research and education in Mexico” (Live
Science, 2022). South Koreans value mathematics and have a scientific mindset an example is “South
Korea is known for its excellent academic performance in mathematics and science” (Korea JoongAng
Daily, 2020). Greeks value mathematics and have a scientific mindset an example is “The Greeks were
mostly focused on geometry, hoping to explain shapes using numbers, which led to some significant
discoveries that are still relevant to the mathematics we do today” (Library for Kids, n.d.). This shows
that the numbers value those represent the three cultures, but it represents them in different ways and
in their own unique way.
One recommended change would be to be more open-minded, that way we can better understand
people and have better communication with others. Another change I would suggest would be
developing self-awareness, this will help us better understand how we interact with others.
