ASSIGNMENT:

Picture Fast Food and the Internet as the outside layers of an onion. The next layer, as you peel away the first, might be the fast pace of American lifestyle, the next the competitive spirit fostered in America, and so on. Each layer seems to lead to the next. The deeper you go into the onion, the more complex the themes and ideals you find, some of which are not always easy to define. See if you can relate this onion to Trompenaars' ideas of culture: each layer of the onion as an attempt to answer the needs and problems of a people brought on by the environment, societal issues, etc.,

Fill in your personal onion. Starting from the inside of the onion to the outer-most portion, from 1 to 8, list the layer to your onion.

Note: The two separate sections of the onion could be your mother and father, nature and nurture, or night and day. Decide what represents these sections for you. What similarities and differences do they have?
