"Hidden Rules"
The "Discussion Checklist" lists 12 activities familiar to 3 different economic subcultures. Good for group discussion on this topic. Download the zipped document.
A "hidden rule" is a method of interacting that is common to a group of people (subculture). Every subculture or class has "hidden rules", but not even the class members realize the rules are there. But when someone violates the rules, it sets up a barrier. Know the "hidden rules" and you will be able to more effectively cross cultural lines.
