Understanding the differences and similarities inherent in other cultures may provide opportunities when working with individuals (or groups) who may have very different or similar cultural values. Through the work of many people, more is known about other cultures’ values than perhaps ever before. Geert Hofstede is one of these people, and his work has allowed for a greater understanding of cultural values across a wide range of dimensions. His work has grown from four dimensions to six, and as more information is gathered this will perhaps increase as well. In the first section, the first four dimensions of cultural values will be discussed briefly. Next, all six dimensions will be given for the United States (US) and Japan, and will be considered according to the highest and lowest differences between dimensions of these two countries’ cultural values. In addition, considerations for applying motivational theories toward individuals from these two countries will also be discussed. Lastly, a single dimension will be selected for each country and a recommendation given accordingly that could help improve performance.

Truly, we require the sciences and innovation, without them we would wind up plainly dormant. Innovation has conveyed us to a place where we can be in contact with the whole world at any given point in time. Science has demonstrated us exactly how enormous that world is.

Social sciences such as sociology and psychology, have differences and similarities to religion. To begin with, both concepts deal with the searching for great knowledge regarding the outside world. From this common point each discipline approaches the problem differently, but they both attempt to apply their respective principles to the solving of pressing sociocultural issues. For example, social sciences may attempt to answer questions through observation and statistical analysis while religion would focus on the literacy deconstruction of sacred text and the pursuit of inner knowledge in order to uncover new meanings to the writings.

This allows us to answer more on humanity in a way that cannot be achieved through one discipline. The limitations and boundaries of one discipline could be different from the perspective on another.

The humanities need the sciences just as the sciences need to collaborate with the humanities to come to a clearer understanding of these questions. The article suggests that people will always want to learn more about the arts, which also gives more of an insight into what it means to be human.
