Kashmir Vs

Kashmir vs. Sweden: The United Nations appointed a Swedish army officer as an observer in Kashmir. The officer and his family moved into a houseboat on the river in Srinagar, the capital of the provincE. As has been customary for Europeans working in Kashmir, the family employed a local woman to take care of all of the family's household services during their stay. The housekeeper was always helpful and took care of their needs.
The family was very pleased with her work, and after a short time decided to give her a raisE. Surprisingly, the housekeeper did not turn up for work the next day, and her younger sibling arrived in her placE. On her new higher salary, the previous helper had employed her younger brother to work for the military family. With the raise she could maintain her standard of living and help her brother.
-Consistent with the Kashmiri helper being a Hindu, she did not believe that she could improve her standard of living in her lifetime. So by being good and not disturbing the harmony of her circumstances, she believed he could be reincarnated into a higher position in her next life.
This natural tendency to accept life with no expectation for either improvement or material goods contrasts sharply with the Swedish family's notion of working hard to achieve personal goals and improve one's material lot in this life. The Swedes' surprise at seeing the younger Kashmiri sibling arrive for work reflects this contrast. Regarding what we learned from the Kluckhohn/Strodtbeck cultural values model, this story is most accurately an example of the differences in:

A) Masculinity and Femininity
B) Flexibility and Achievement
C) Individualism and Collectivism
D) Doing and Being
