Author: Sarah Howard Full Title: Culture Smart! Ethiopia, 2nd Edition Publisher: Kuperard; Second edition (March 4, 2021) Year: 2021 ISBN-13: 9781787022645 (978-1-78702-264-5) ISBN-10: 1787022641 Pages: 200 Language: English Genre: Travel: Africa File type: EPUB (True) Quality: 10/10 Price: £9.99 Set in Africa, but not wholly African; an isolated nation, yet receptive to the outside world; hierarchical and conservative, yet innovative and desirous of modernity; conformist as a people, and fiercely independent as individuals—the Ethiopian identity defies definition. Ethiopia exists simultaneously in different time periods. Its people, when they see something new that might work to their advantage, will embrace it and find ways to improve on it. Modern democracy, however, has understandably been slower to bloom given the strong historical antecedents of its monarchy. Culture Smart! Ethiopia unpacks the values, attitudes, and traditions of this culturally rich nation. Etiquette in daily life, socializing, and communicating are all helpfully described, and advice is given to on how make the most of a visit. Above all, it provides the tools to do so in a considerate and sensitive manner. ------------- Our members see more. Join us!
