Cultural and behavioural
expectations of studying for
a degree in business
management (Document 1)
I have discovered that culture plays a
crucial role in studying for a degree in
business management. It comes with a set
of beliefs, attitudes, and behaviours that
explain how people live their lives. The
level of life of individuals is referred to as
cultural expectations. Individuals can use
these expectations to guide their behaviour
in society. On the other hand, I have
observed that a behaviour expectation is a
set of goals for how teachers in a classroom
would like learners to behave. I now
understand why culture and behavioural
norms are so essential to us. These
expectations are crucial for each individual
because they hold them accountable for
their actions and motivate them to improve
their interactions with others. Cultural
expectations help to raise understanding of
different cultures, which, in my opinion,
might help us avoid bias later in life. These
lessons, in my opinion, aid in the
recognition of a person's strengths and
limitations. I have also observed that
knowing cultural differences makes
individuals more confident and open-
minded, resulting in a more pleasant
Cultural and behavioural
standards will assist me in
being a global citizen when I
interact with individuals
from many cultures and
languages. This will assist
me in becoming more aware
of other people's beliefs,
values, experiences, and
perspectives. In my
professional life, these
standards will also assist me
in creating a pleasant
working environment. I will
indeed be able to appreciate
persons of all backgrounds
and behaviours as a result
of completing these
programmes. These lessons
will also assist me in
overcoming cultural
boundaries and valuing
others. Knowing what to
expect in terms of cultural
and behavioural norms will
help me in my future work.
I will put these lessons into
practise by practising
excellent manners with
others and modelling
courteous behaviour. I will
treat people from all
backgrounds and cultures
with respect. I will keep an
eye and listen to my
coworkers or subordinates,
as well as pay more
exposure to their actions.
I'm going to strive to
improve my cultural literacy
and raise awareness about
this topic. I will also make
an effort to celebration with
colleagues who hold
opposing viewpoints and to
improve my interpersonal
relationships with them. I
would also stand with
persons who are
experiencing prejudice in

institutions. I will educate

cultural and behavioural expectations
Important because, in my opinion, it aids in
acquiring a more thorough comprehension
of any subject. As far as I am concerned,
these serve as the cornerstone for a
productive and effective workplace.
Individuals can use behavioural
expectations to help them portray their
suitable behaviour, which determines their
personality. Cultural expectations, in my
opinion, help us grasp what individuals
really think and how they perceive the
world. These standards also aid in
improving communication and motivating
individuals to engage with one another.
Individuals with cultural and behavioural
competence are better able to contribute to
society by increasing their responsibility
and understanding. People's opinions might
be impacted by cultural norms and
practises since they change with time,
according to my observations. It aids in the
adaptation of an individual to the varied
cultures of various organisations. It also
aids individuals in determining whether the
applied culture inside a society or
organisation is worng or correct, in my
opinion.
In my future professional
position or studies, I would

the future, I will endeavour
to use this literacy at my
company in order to foster
a pleasant work culture.

is essential to me since it allows both
educators and learners to comprehend one

chance to provide feedback. It also aids in
the development of confidence and a
greater knowledge of society. Peer

establish a more personalised learning

individuals feel more at ease and open up,

of understanding these
disciplines. My great teamwork

Because of my lack of abilities, I may have
disagreements with my coworkers. This
might also pose a threat to me, since those
who are better than me may be recruited
ahead of me.
Opportunity

demonstrate my upbeat
disposition to others. In my
future profession, I may
apply what I have learned
about cooperation, cultural
diversity, and human

successful, I might also
apply these lessons to my
life. I may use my expertise
of teamwork and peer

subordinates the value of
cooperating. This will assist
me in building a pleasant
