Chapter 3 and 4 Question #3

The concept I have chosen to use is Expressiveness from chapter four. I picked this concept because I found it to be both useful and interesting. Expressiveness/Expressive Cultures are open when it comes to emotion. I found this interesting because it points out the different values in our cultural belief systems. Whereas eloquence is valued in my culture, it is not valued in other cultures. I find what the author states to be very true that the European Americans are somewhat in the middle of the spectrum. We are not overly emotional, but we are also not overly passive with our emotions.
