This site works best for learners when they are given some sort of guidance for the activity. You might, for example, provide questions or prompts such as: 1. Compare your home country culture to at least one other national cultural group - what similarities and differences do you notice in the trends in values for these groups? 2. Find a country culture that is dramatically different from your home country culture in at least one value dimension and brainstorm how that value might manifest as everyday behaviors in each place. 3. Discuss the advantages and drawbacks to using a tool like this.
