(1)A brief history/background on the country you have chosen. Understandably, many countries may have a vast history. Focus on what you perceive as the most important elements of the country’s history.

Be sure to cite your sources on your reference slide. (2)How your chosen country ranks on the following dimensions of cultural variability:a.Individualism versus Collectivismb.Masculinity Versus Femininityc.Power Distanced.Indulgence Versus Restrainte.Long Term Orientation Versus Short Term Orientationf.Uncertainty Avoidance If you are unable to locate direct research indicating where your country aligns on these dimensions you need to do your best to provide research that supports your rationale for where you would assume your country would rank on these dimensions. Be sure to explain what each dimension is and also give specific examples for each of these dimensions. Also, make sure to cite your sources on your reference slide. (3)Faux Pas.

A breakdown and total cost would be an awesome thing to include! *Do some research online (sites like Tripadvisor, Fodors, Triptuner, to name a few, may be helpful – there are many resources available to help with planning), and talk with friends who may have already traveled to your chosen destination to help with this project. Include pictures! Most importantly, have fun with this assignment and learn something cool about a place you may actually be traveling to yourself in the near future!
