Stringer, D. M., & Cassiday, P. A. (2003). A value to D-I-E for. In 52 Activities for exploring values differences (pp. 17-19). Intercultural Press.

Preceding D-I-E with Draw a Tree and following up D-I-E with an explanation of the iceberg metaphor can be a great combination to get people to look under the surface as to what drives behavior.

This activity can also be done with the photo in Downloads and the two articles on global parenting in Links. Ask participants what they observe in the photo to lead into this discussion of the cultural differences of parenting. Participants can read the articles after looking at the photo.
