Imagine scientists have created a medicine that allows you to live forever. They’ve offered to give it to you for free, no strings attached. Would you take it? Why or why not?

No, I would not, this question in particular made me think of an anime that I had watched, and one of the characters had drunken from the fountain of youth, the saint guarding it was a little fairy girl and she asked him why he wanted to drink from the fountain, and he had said, "Even though my life hasn't been all that great, I figured that if I lived long enough, something good might happen." I would not take the medicine because I would continue to live on while everyone in my life died and passed on, I would be left by myself, everyone must die at some point in life. Living while everyone else you loved and cared about would be eternal suffering.

150 words exact, I did not plagerize at all I hope this helps ^-^

the are no statements

low context culture   (lc.):

association:    

relationships begin and end quickly. many people can be inside one's circle; circle's boundary is not clear.

things get done by following procedures and paying attention to the goal.

one's identity is rooted in oneself and one's accomplishments.

social structure is decentralized; responsibility goes further down (is not concentrated at the top).

interaction:

low use of nonverbal elements. message is carried more by words than by nonverbal means.

verbal message is explicit. context is less important than words.

verbal message is direct; one spells things out exactly.

communication is seen as a way of exchanging information, ideas, and opinions.  

disagreement is depersonalized. one withdraws from conflict with another and gets on with the task. focus is on rational solutions, not personal ones. one can be explicit about another's bothersome behavior.

territoriality:

space is compartmentalized and privately owned; privacy is important, so people are farther apart.

temporality:

things are scheduled to be done at particular times, one thing at a time. what is important is that activity is done efficiently.

change is fast. one can make change and see immediate results.

time is a commodity to be spent or saved. one’s time is one’s own.

learning:

reality is fragmented and compartmentalized. one source of information is used to develop knowledge. thinking is inductive, proceeds from specific to general. focus is on detail.

learning occurs by following explicit directions and explanations of others.

an individual orientation is preferred for learning and problem solving.

speed is valued. how efficiently something is learned is important.
