Abstract: Abstract When considering national characteristics, individual idiosyncrasies should never be confused as representative of the society or its general culture as a whole.1 While societies reflect different personalities at the individual level, the most common in a particular nation tends to approximate its national character. Dimensions of culture advanced by Hofstede, Trompenaars, and Hampden-Turner, among others, prove helpful in making assessments among different cultures at the macro level—for example, comparing Australia and Canada—more so than analyzing trends at the micro level, such as cities like Sydney and Melbourne or Toronto and Vancouver, though geographical distinctions are often evident even at this level.
