Values: basic convictions that a specific mode of conduct or end state of existence is personally or socially preferable to an opposite mode of conduct. Values are core beliefs of what we consider preferable behaviour. Queuing habits- in canada people line up to take the bus, in netherlands they don"t. In netherlands they like deviant behaviour because they value their time: running a red light to be on time, squeezing in the train to guarantee a spot and get to work etc. Canadians like certainty, they like to be safe, they like order. Values influence attitudes, the behaviour we like, and judgements of people who behave in a different matter. Power distance: how we accept differences in power, high power distance supervisors have lots of power, less pd its more relaxed.
