Name three German culture traits

Answer 1

1. The Germans are a lowcontext culture which means (unlike for example the Japanese) a great deal of knowledge is spelled out explicitly, meaning more responsibility is placed on the listener to keep up their knowledge base and remain plugged into informal networks. French can feel that Germans insult their intelligence by explaining the obvious, while Germans can feel that French managers provide no direction
2. They are also a monochronic culture meaning they like to do just one thing at a time. They value a certain orderliness and sense of there being an appropriate time and place for everything. They do not value interruptions.
3. They tend to consume a hell of a lot more beer and saussages than any other race I've met. It's no stereotype.

Answer 2

1. Efficiency and punctuality are highly valued in German culture, as time management is essential.
2. Germans appreciate direct communication and honesty, often preferring blunt feedback over beating around the bush.
3. Oktoberfest, a famous beer festival held annually in Munich, is a key aspect of German culture, showcasing their love for beer, food, and traditional music and clothing.
