★Work Place Questionairre★
Your score is 55 on a scale of 0 to 100 = Preference for Need for Certainty
Your scores indicate that you have a moderate Need for Certainty and might prefer job security to a more entrepreneurial job opportunity. In countries/cultures with a Need for Certainty, organizations have a preference for strong codes of behaviors and management practices and tolerate less deviation from them; they tend to support their employees on the job. If you work in countries such as Sweden, Denmark, or the United States, where there is a higher Tolerance for Ambiguity, you might react by seeking out situations in which there is a higher level of job security and loyalty to the organization is rewarded. In countries/cultures with a Tolerance for Ambiguity, conflict in organizations is perceived as natural, and rules may be broken for pragmatic reasons. You might feel yourself under attack if the level of conflict rose above your threshold.
The countries you requested are listed below. The numbers in parentheses refer to the country scores as listed by Professor Geert Hofstede in his book Culture's Consequences:
France (86) Need for Certainty, a strong preference for an environment that is more structure-oriented, and where rules, roles and management practices are clear and unambiguous

☆Lesson 11 Dating Customs☆
This is my ideal man.
The fist time I met a man, I always see physical appearance. However, personality is the most important.
I also like reliance man because I hate liar. I think that a good heart cannot lie. I don't like less dependable than me.
I don't like man who is good looks only. I am less concerned with looks.
Finally, car is necessary for me. Because if he has not a car, we can not go to a distant place. I hate the crowd, so I don't want to ride bus and train.
If I marry, I want to marry ideal man like this.

☆Class #2 Buddhism ☆
I have no religion. However, Buddhist monks visited my homes to recite sutras at the home altars when my grandfather died. We visit graves and make offerings of flowers and incense. I also go to a temple to worship every year on New Year's Eve. It may be that I thought we are Buddhist. However, it just doesn't matter if we make a money offering and pray to God in shrines. We don't know why do our do it, but it is our long-established customs. We depend on Buddhism in spite of ourselves.
