Anna and the King?AccountabilityThe king had many wives and had many children; he seeks power through people around him. Anna found that strange and couldn’t accept it. For her it was not acceptable for the king to have that high number of wives, as in her country it was not allowed for the man to marry more than one woman, and in her country that was not considered as a problem, as people seek power as individuals, reflecting the high individualism society of UK, which differs from the high collectivism society of Siam. The United Kingdom is one of the most individualist countries in the world, and people in UK re greatly Individualist and private people. CITATION ten991 \l 1033 (tennant, 1999)Communication:?Direct/indirectAnna’s son has a fight with the king’s son, when Anna spoke to them, her son apologized for what he did, but the king’s son didn’t apologize saying that the man shouldn’t apologize to the women. , This reflects the high masculinity of the society in Siam .On the other hand , in UK men and women were considered as equal , and in case a man did something wrong , it was normal to apologize to a woman. Another point is that men in Siam were very tough in dealing with women and they considered themselves as superior to them. But, in UK men treated women with high respect and they don’t find it strange to show that respect reflecting that the UK is a Masculine society. In general in UK people live so as to work and to have a clear performance ambition and that was shared between men and women. CITATION Wha162 \l 1033 (What about the UK?, n.d.)Inclusive/exclusiveAnna and the prince found a slave gained in the garden for six weeks and she had a bad small. That happened to her because she asked to pay for her freedom. When she objected to the king saying that it is unfair, so she was punished for that in that cruel way. In Siam that was a common thing. But in UK, that was abnormal, as no slaves were there in UK, and human rights were very respectful. Another example is that of one of the king women who didn’t love him, and she was unhappy because of that she decided to escape with her lover. When they were caught they were punished by learning. For Anna that was very strange as women in UK were free in choosing their husbands. CITATION unc16 \l 1033 (uncertainty avoidance, n.d.)Achieve Anna was very surprised when she saw the people in Siam sit on their knees when they speak to the king. For them that was a way to show their respect. Also, no one dares to say a word in the presence of the king, and when they speak to him they don’t look at him straight in the eye. .She realized that the King in Thailand was treated as if he was a god. Also in Siam, slaves used to serve people in the kingdom, and they were treated badly.But in UK matters were greatly different, as the king was just an important person, so the nation has to show respect to him. The way that people in UK show respect to the milk was by just bowing, and when they talk to him they look at his eyes as other people. For slaves, they were not common in the UK. CITATION Wha163 \l 1033 (What about Thailand?, n.d.)Achieved/ Ascribed Other examples of Achieved sinkect bowing to the king , in this silent moment , we saw the king stepping out and the Siames people immediately bowing the king .Achieved culture always show us that repect authority and everyone has a specific place as we can see in this exaple .
