Part
3: Cambodia Customs and Values
Objective: To understand some similarities between Emirati and
Cambodian Culture
Task: Compare Cambodian and Emirati values
Highlight in yellow all the values
that are similar to Emirati values
A. Traditional Cambodian
values include a strong family identity and loyalty
B. Cambodian-born people
have a respect for culture and older people.
C. Cambodian families
tend to be very private and reluctant to discuss family issues or conflict with
non-family members
D.
Stoicism is a highly valued
Cambodian character trait, reducing the tendency to complain about their health
or services they are receiving
E. Modesty, particularly
for women, is very important
F. Visitors to
Cambodian-born people’s homes are often expected to remove their shoes, however
they might not ask
G. Accepting of food and
refreshments when offered may break down barriers, open communication and build
trust
H. Cambodian-born people
regard touching people on the head or pointing feet or shoes at them as
offensive.
I. Cambodians consider
it impolite to make eye contact with someone who is older or considered a
superior
J.
Cambodians have a tendency not to
question instructions or authority
K. ‘Yes’ may be an
ambiguous response to a question or request, and does not necessarily indicate
agreement. Reponses that might mean ‘no’ include; no response, changing the
subject, or statements such as ‘it’s OK’ or ‘no problem’ or even an
unconvincing ‘yes’
L. It may take time to
develop working relationships, trust and rapport
M. Loud or over-familiar
behaviour towards others is generally not favoured.
N.
Cambodians tend to avoid showing
anger or getting involved in confrontation
O.
Cambodians prefer to be addressed using
their correct title. For example Mr, Mrs and Dr
P.
Women traditionally retain their own
family names on marriage or they may have two surnames. Cambodian names are
traditionally written with the surname first, followed by the given name.
Q.
Cambodians may not recognise their
names if they are pronounced incorrectly
R. Cambodians may not
always address people by their name
Cambodia and uae
Cambodia and the united Arab emirates are to different country’s
but they have many things in common. Keeping
tradition alive and not losing it, is one of UAEs biggest goals, this is also
what Cambodia people look for. Respect is of good morals, and with respect the emirates live,
in Cambodia respect you can find respect very where between poor and rich, old
and young ,male and feamale and also human to animals. In both countries there
people are so loyalty because they want to Reciprocate to their countries to sum-up
I think that both these countries have a lot in comment
