Concept of identity & culture How do we learn culture or values? By Geert Hofstede (2005)
Diamond ranking: upbringing values • What struck you when you discussed your diamond about upbringing? • Where did you discover diffrences and where similarities in your group? • How could you explain these differences and similarities? • Do upbringing values change? • How could you explain differences and similarities between different countries (averages)?
Theory: upbringing values • “hard work”, “obedience” and “religious faith” more traditional upbringing values (e.g. demanded by (religious) authorities, or necessary to survive) • “ tolerance”, “imagination”, “independance” more post-modern upbringing values (e.g. necessary to survive in an individualising world in high income countries)

Lesson outcome • We learn (some) values from our upbringing. • (Upbringing) Values differ between persons, groups, cultures and countries. (Diversity) • There are several factors which have an influence on the diversity of values, like income, being religious, age etc. • (Upbringing) Values are changing. • Theories can (only) partly explain diversity between people of different countries.
