要求:Case 1: Shortly after Raymond started teaching English in an English training center in China, the director told him in a round-about way that the students were unhappy about some of his method and had made some suggestions about his teaching. Raymond felt very embarrassed, not just because the students had some concerns about his teaching style, but because they had complained directly to the director.

要求:Case 1A young Japanese student came to the United States, and he was overwhelmed by the cordial reception he was given. He said, “The American people are wonderful. They are so warm, so friendly-much beyond my expectations.” Some time later, while traveling in the west, this same young man had had dinner with an American family and had remarked that he greatly admired the country’s efficiency, organization, and accomplishment. But he said, there was one thing he would never quite understand, and that was why Americans were so cold, so distant. His host was deeply hurt, and the visit ended on a bit of a sour note.Q1 :What had made the Japanese young man change his view about Americans? What can you infer about American friendship based on this case?Case 2 Litz met a Chinese doctor in the United States, and fell in love with him and they got married. Litz’s husband had long wished to bring his mother to live with them for a while. So, they invited her over. They are very happy about their mother’s visit. Litz knows being filial to parents is a great value Chinese people cherish. As wife of a Chinese, she tries to be as filial as her husband. Two days after the mother’s arrival, Litz talked to her husband, Dick, while his mother was sitting in the garden enjoying the sunshine. Litz: Dick, how long is your mum going to stay? Dick: I don’t know. I haven’t asked her. Litz: Why not ask her? Dick: What do you mean by asking her? Litz: I mean what I said. Just ask her how long she’ going to stay. What was going to happen the next day made Litz very confused. The mother overheard their conversation and decided to leave for China the very afternoon. Litz had never expected that her visit should be so short. Q2 :Why did the Chinese mother-in-law decide to leave the very afternoon? What was wrong? Case 3 Mr. Legrand is a French engineer who works for a Japanese company in France. One day the general manager, Mr. Tanaka, called him into his office to discuss a new project in the Middle East. He told Mr. Legrand that the company was very pleased by his dedicated work and would like him to act as chief engineer for the project. It would mean two to three years away from home, but his family would be able to accompany him and there would be considerable personal financial benefits to the position — and, of course, he would be performing a valuable service to the company. Mr. Legrand thanked Mr. Tanaka for the confidence he had in him but said he would have to discuss it with his wife before deciding.Two days later he returned and told Mr. Tanaka that both he and his wife did not like the thought of leaving France and so he did not want to accept the position. Mr. Tanaka said nothing but was somewhat dumbfounded by his decision.Q3 : Why did the Japanese general manager feel extremely surprised when he heard that Mr. Legrand had decided not to be away from France? What would he think of him, then? 3.2. What would be your first priorities if you had been in Mr. Legrand’s position?
