The quality of human beings
What is the nature of mankind?
   
Mainstream US culture is hopeful to that extent as it is assumed that any achievement is possible if worked for, and that humankind is finally perfectible - as the large indefinite quantity of assist books and broadcastings marketed every year attest.

However this hypothesis of perfectibility does not mean that the North American is as optimistic about his/her opposite numbers in day-to-day connections. The reality that the negotiating social unit regularly includes jural staff implies concern that the opposite party will renege on an understanding if given a loophole.

More Europeans expend a more pessimistic conceptualization towards human nature. They display a greater suspicion of experts, and assume that human motivations are more complex than do North Americans. This is mirrored in a liking for more complicated cognitive models of behavior and hence more complicated structures than are constituted in American social groups.

Relation to quality
What is the person's relationship to trait?

Up until newly, North American culture has in the main realized the human being as abstracted from nature, and eligible to employ it. Such activities as mining, diking rivers for hydro-electrical power, analysing and designing to control weather patterns, genetic technology, all demonstrate a need for control.

But lately, the world has become more cognizant of demands to preserve the environment, and this is reflected in corporate marketing policies and the growth of "reusable" and "biodegradable" goods.

Broadly, conceptualizations of dominance are mirrored in a preparedness to manage human psychology, and human relationships. An instance is given by policy configured to adjust an organizational culture.

In comparison, Arab culture looks to be extremely fatalistic towards activities to change or improve the world. Humankind can do petty on its own to achieve success or preclude hardship.
