cultural write-up relating to a specific representative country (Jordan)

1. Each student will provide a brief two-page cultural write-up relating to his/her representative country (chosen for
Making Acquaintances Part 1: Do’s and Don’ts): (20 points)

a. Historical background

VERY IMPORTANT – your final score will greatly depend on this.
In the next two sections, associations SHOULD be made with the value orientations addressed in the

§ Activity Orientation (Achievement/Ascription, Doing-Being-Being-Becoming)
§ Human Relationships (Affectivity/Affective Neutrality, Instrumental/Expressive, Self
(Individualistic)/Collective (Collateral)/Linear, Egalitarian/Hierarchical, Power Distance)
§ Relation to Time (Past-Present-Future, Monochronic/Polychronic, Low-Context/HighContext

2. Each student will provide a two-page list of ‘Reasons for Codes of Cultural Behavior’ for tourists visiting his/her
representative country. This list will explain to tourists why it is important that they follow each of the Do’s and
Don’ts (that you listed in your Making Acquaintances: Do’s and Don’t’s assignment), from the hosts’ cultural
(values of the culture) perspective, and should include the following: (40 points)

a. Five major ‘Do’s’ for tourists
i. At least one appropriate value orientation of the culture for each ‘Do’ (20 points) (Describe in detail
one distinct value orientation for each Do. Do not repeat value orientations for the items on the list of
Dos.)

b. Five major ‘Don’ts’ for tourists
i. At least one appropriate value orientation of the culture for each ‘Don’t’ (20 points) (Describe in
detail one distinct value orientation for each Don’t. Do not repeat value orientations for the items on
the list of Don’t’s.)

3. Each student will provide APA-style citations within the text whenever applicable and compile a list of APA-style
references (reference page) for all resources used in his/her write-up (5 points)

I chose Jordan for this paper and wrote the first part about Jordan. If you can complete the second part about Jordan I would really appreciate it.

And I have attached a sample that the professor gave us, please stick to it. I really need a high grade.

Thank you in advance!
