INFLUENCE OF THE LEWIS MODEL

In this post, we will try to assign and illustrate the most general characteristics of Greek culture from the types of culture in the Lewis model. So, when we speak of Greek culture, we can imagine this culture in a similar position related to reactive culture, where people tolerate silences well or prioritize courtesy and respect, listening quietly and calmly to their interlocutors and reacting carefully to the other side's proposals.We think you can imagine it, because Greece is a country that has been made based on the radical customs of its people, being very conservative for centuries but that is not true.

When we properly examine Lewis model, we can find that Greece belongs to the multi-Active culture, not complety, but it tends to keep in this type of culture or is very close. Lewis model defines this culture as chatty, lively, and impulsive people who place great importance on feelings, relationships, and people orientation, and are uncomfortable with silence.

I think the culture of Greece is very influenced by the diversity in the islands around the coast of Greece, where there is a great cultural exchange to develop these specific characteristics.

These characteristics when people from Greece come to Colombia are important, because it will not cause them any problems. Colombia is also a multi-active culture, here interruptions in conversations are frequent and they try to speak and listen at the same time. I am sure that the people of Greece will get used to it easily but I think that the problems they will find are related to the way they speak. It is clear that the language it is a common problem of any foreigner and the problems are focused on issues of customs or particular adaptations such as food, the way to study. Those things are not problems exactly, but they are situations that might be contrary for a person from another country.
