For example when I was with my ex she was very High Context and I always wanted a straight answer. I always thought something was wrong or she was doing something behind my back. Reviewing this and understanding how people behave and what culture they come from helped me understand better.
Another example that learning self-concept made me realize how my parents are and their cultural background. My parents like to be close with one another as far as seeing each other and making decisions together. My parents come from a collectivistic culture. This is because my parents are always curious as to what school I go to or work I choose. My dad talks about his mom and how they made decisions together and never knew how traits can really carry over but this tie in with expiernces and maybe what they went through.
The last example that learning self-concept assignment helped me realize how my friend that is a girl always got a new boyfriend every 2 months. Not literally every 2 months but in a year she had over 5 boyfriends. She came form a Low Uncertainty culture. She is okay with change which is strange for a relationship. Usually you are High Uncertainty with relationships unless relationships are
