- Relation to Time (Past-Present-Future, Monochronic/Polychronic, Low-Context/High-Context
- Each student will provide a 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)
- Five major ‘Do’s’ for tourists
- 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.)
- Five major ‘Don’ts’ for tourists
- 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.)
- 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).
- On the ‘Making Acquaintances Part 2’ discussion forum, each student will post his/her findings about the representative country in a thread by the due date.
- Each student is required to read the findings of one other student and respond to the posting of the other student by identifying the following, on or before the response due date (10 points):
- One major cultural value commonality between his/her country and the other country (5 points)
- One major cultural value difference between his/her country and the other country (5 points)

this is what i wrote on Do’s and Don’ts about Iraq
- At the age of 16, the girls can get married because many families want to see their grandchildren before they die.
- 3-4 families can live in one house because there was not a lot of houses so families sit together.
- Girls can study and get educated because it will help her in the future.
- Muslim guys can get married 4 times because they are allowed by their religion.
- Girls must be a virgin in order to get married because that shows loyalty to her husband.
Don’ts
- Young ladies can’t go out with their friends because it’s a shame for her and her family.
- Children can’t sit with adults because it’s disrespectful.
- Girls can’t go to the school that has guys in it because it is “haram” guys see girls.
- Girls can’t get in a relationship before marriage because her family will kill her.
- Women are not allowed to drive because everybody was old minded they did not allow women to do what they wanted to do.
but this is what he said about it:
Items 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 in the list of Do’s and items 3 and 4 in the list of Don’ts are not cultural do’s and don’ts for .tourists. Replace these items for Part 2 (Differences and Similarities).
