Synopsis

"Face Value Culture" explores the pervasive influence of "face"—a culturally shaped sense of social esteem—on human behavior across diverse societies. The book argues that understanding face dynamics is crucial in today's globalized world, as it governs daily social exchanges and impacts everything from interpersonal relationships to international negotiations. It examines how different cultures, from East Asia to Latin America, manage face through unique strategies like "face-saving" and "face-giving," revealing the underlying values that drive these behaviors. The book highlights that face isn't just about reputation; it's a fundamental human need for social validation and belonging.

 
The book is structured in three parts, starting with the theoretical foundations of face, then moving into cultural variations in face management, and finally, exploring the consequences of face dynamics in various settings, such as workplaces and international negotiations. By synthesizing cross-cultural research, the book reveals both universal patterns and culture-specific adaptations in face dynamics. It provides practical strategies for navigating face-threatening situations, ultimately aiming to improve intercultural communication and foster stronger, more respectful relationships. This approach makes it a valuable resource for anyone seeking to enhance their social competence in diverse global settings.

    Hans-Ulrich Rudel: The Life and...

    Few people personified the advancements, abilities, and tactical adeptness of the Luftwaffe like Hans-Ulrich Rudel, the most successful dive bomber in the history of warfare. Like hundreds of millions of others born in the early 20th century, his life was shaped by the Second World War, which started when he was just 23. He was born into and shaped by one of the most brutal and infamous regimes in history, and once indoctrinated, he fought determinedly and with real commitment in support of that regime. He flew over 2,500 combat missions, reportedly destroying over 500 Soviet tanks, 170 artillery pieces, 800 other vehicles, and a battleship on the way to becoming the highest-decorated Nazi soldier of World War II, receiving the Knight’s Cross with Golden Oak Leaves, Swords, and Diamonds. He was shot down, or crash landed, multiple times, and even after having reportedly been told by Hitler to stop flying on several occasions, he insisted on returning to the front to fight with his comrades. He lost a leg to gunfire in early 1945 but carried on with his combat missions despite the pain and the practical difficulties of flying with one leg. There is no denying his bravery, however unpleasant the cause for which he fought. 
    Hans-Ulrich Rudel is therefore a challenging character to analyze. His autobiography, Stuka Pilot, was originally entitled Trotzdem (“In spite of everything”), pointing strongly to his continuing support, post-war, for the Nazi ideology. But his book remains a detailed, fascinating, largely credible (and mostly ideology-free) account of his wartime experiences, even as his final pages include references to his proud insistence on performing the Nazi salute in front of the American soldiers who had taken him prisoner and who were providing medical care to his amputated stump.
