  • Personal Narrative: Appealing Cultural Values And Practices

I find this appealing as it means that people in the Netherlands are more motivated by liking what they do, as opposed to being the best, and are more focused on having a work-life balance. They also are more focused on reaching consensus when making decisions. This appeals to me because I believe that it would be fascinating to experience a culture
