WE ARE A DIRECT CULTURE

Some examples
People love directness, even at
work.
For argentinians everything is
black or white, you like it or
dislike it
Speakers would not mind you
asking direct questions

WE ARE A DIRECT CULTURE

Some examples
Picture yourself at a bar and a woman is
looking at you:
This means ONE and only ONE thing
She wants YOU to go and talk to her

Some examples
A lot of argentinians see a great
opportunity on crisis and inflation:
great opportunity to buy a house
with debt at a fix rate

WE ARE AN OPPORTUNISTIC CULTURE

Some examples
A woman cannot
be alone for more
than 5 minutes at
a bar
