      No one is equal, people are animals

      If workers in developing countries focus on the quality of life and family and friendship as in Europe and the United States, then labor costs will skyrocket, and they will fall into the middle-income trap like Brazil and South Africa. But do these people in developing countries deserve to be sacrificed? Damn, there's really no other way. Either sacrifice generations to go to developed countries, or get trapped in middle-income society and gradually disintegrate.

      Basically a good movie

      The theme is the development process of a Japanese car factory in a small American town. The

      cultural differences are very delicately portrayed: the Japanese rigorous corporate culture and the pursuit of perfection, the American individualism and casual rambling. From the beginning of the film, I felt that the Japanese were repressed but full of enthusiasm. It is true that they did rely on this two-pole spirit to gradually become an economic power from a defeated country after World...

      IQ test

      I believe that the Japanese boss at the end of the film finally recognized 15,000 vehicles and gave all the American workers a raise. There is indeed a problem with their IQ!
      How can the boss who is so strict with quality and quantity give up lightly?
      In fact, at the last second, he donated a lot of gifts to the "waste materials" in front of him, with only one purpose: to localize the American market for Japanese cars, so as to occupy the American market more and faster than his...

      Eastern "work" culture in the eyes of Americans

      The film was shot in 1986, 27 years ago. The reason why this movie was dug up like a big wave was because of an article in the New York Times. When the article talks about "Shuanghui's acquisition of Smithfield", it expands to the current Chinese investment boom in the United States, and recalls the wave of Japanese investment in the United States in the 1980s, and the film Gung Ho is one of Hollywood's masterpieces of that era. In fact, the English word Gung Ho comes...

      Homework for Intercultural Business Communication, Using a 1986 film to deal with current cultural differences? ? The roommate looked embarrassed, but Keaton's performance saved it. The Japanese management joined the work, and the last reversal of the big boss was moved by your great American spirit? ? He Bo said, "I think the same way as the Americans." From the beginning of the red carpet and the microphone, it began to smear the Japanese. It is not necessary to hold a big one, unless you...
