How would you feel?    "The shabby guitar player" I choose No.1.4.5. Because,I come to restaurant to have dinner not to   
listen to music. So waiter should remove this man and tell" You should find a job. I don't wanna talk begger.

                       "A Welcome at the Airport" I choose No.2.4.   Because,She is holding a sign, so I can gesse who is                  
she.But I choose No.4. Because this is a formal business! She should take a formal out fit, I think.

What would you do?     "The returning Athlete"    I choose No.3      Why did I choose this is written on No.3.

                       " A Virtual Contact"       I choose No.3      Because, He or She is a person I want to business
with. So ,I should send a formal e-mail to want he to know that I am serious. And I would like to make he be interested
in me.

1.   The Shabby Guitar Player

      A.  6 ***The waiter should remove this man.
                    <reason>
                      I & my acquaintance are customers of this reataurant.
                      Good restaurants are supposed to offer good service.
                      If this guitar player wearing shabby clothes isn't
 hired ,
                      this restaurant has to take all responsibility not to
 get
                      this kind of persons into the restaurant.
                      This idea will be based on D.1: Power distance

2.   A Welcome at the Airport
     A.
  3 *** It is wonderful to be welcomed so warmly.
                   <reason>
 
                     I don't think  this lady is a secretary, because a
 secretary usually wears a suit. This lady must be a person with whom I 'll have the meeting. She won't have enough time to change clothes.
                   I don't care so much what kind of outfit you wear or
 not before a formal meeting. If she doesn't have a chance to change clothes before a meeting, it's all right for me to have a meeeting with a casual clothes like this.
                     The most important thing is a content of a meeting not
 an outfit.
This idea will be based on D.2 : Individualism  & D.3 :
Masculinity

3.  The Returning Athlete

     A.  3 *** A big one, because even if she did not win, she did
participate in the Olympic games
                   < reason>
                      I 'm the mayor of a small town. Everyone can watch the
Olympic  games.
 However everyone can't paticipate in the Olympic
games
. Only selected
 athletes can.  If you couldn't get a medal, the fourth
place should be honored.
                      Anyway I'm the mayor, I have the responsibility to
hold an official event.
                      This idea will be based on D.1 : Power distance

4.  A  Virtual  Contact
     A.  1 *** Write a formal , polite paper letter on your company
letterhead.
                   < reason>
                      This 21 century is the age of computer, I know this
very well.
 The relationship on the Web, even if it's a business
relationship,
 it'll be  a quite common to have a contact without
seeing each other.
                      However I want to get a certain evidence that proves
our relations
 on the paper. Only a Web , it's not reliable.
                      After I got a paper or letter from that person, then I
'll call myself.
 
                      This idea will be based on D. 4 : Uncertainty
Avoidance

In Shabby Guitar Player, I chose 3, because I may think that it is usual that people have a job. So, maybe I think If he had any jobs

 

In A Welcome at the Airport, I chose 5. The reason is as in the paper, I may think that it is an error, because I am expecting a formal meeting.

 

In The Returning Athlete, 3, because I think that it is wonderful to be able to take part in the Olympic.

 

In the last one, I chose 3, because it is important to be friendly to somebody who works with. We will talk to so friendly, he may think that he wants to start a business.
