This assignment will address the third step in preparing for the Final Paper assignment, considering individualism or collectivism as they apply to you, your choice of work setting and your functioning in a work setting.
This topic is covered in last weeks text reading form Twenge, J. M., & Campbell, W. K.

I have attached my Context Survey results in the attachment. In short terms, I am a: Simply put, a low-context person is mostly driven by tasks and their accomplishment, generally views the development and maintenance of relationships as more of a hindrance, or at least more of a means than an end, and because the task is so important, appreciates directness and explicitness. This individual also dislikes hierarchy and sees it as a barrier to communication and knowledge, both or which are necessary to get things done.
Regarding Individualism vs. Collectivism, I go more towards individualism. I concentrate on myself and how I can achieve my goals, even in work. In collectivism, I tend to work in teams for some work projects, but mostly with close friends and their personal projects and my spouse.
