Indian Culture v/s Other Culture
1) Destiny –
According to the U.S culture they believe that a person has full control on his destiny & thus believes that one can create one’s destiny no matter how charged they gate,
I AM CAPTAIN OF MY FATE,
I AM MASTER OF MY SOUL,
However Indian believes that they have no control on their destiny due to the law of karma which highlights one is born to repay ones death and all the pleasure and pain one gets is due to the accumulation of the right or wrong of one’s past life
On the other hand Japanese culture believes in co creating ones destiny, to group efforts. They believe in synergy which comes from brain storming and the belief, “many hands make light work”.
2) Decision Making –

In Japan they believe in having a dialogue where everyone is free to express their views and thus are able to resolve conflicts in a very mature way.
