These nations will very likely not respond to appeals with which we are familiar, and not value rewards which seem to us irresistible. The danger--and it would be fatal to world peace--is that in our ignorance of their cultural values we shall meet in head-on collision and incontinently fall back on the old pattern of imposing our own values by force.” WorldWayNeedsCountrySeemsWould BeValuesFallCultureForceNationsUnderstandingDangerIgnoranceDiversityIntelligentRewardsPatternsFamiliarAppealsCooperationCrucialIrresistibleImposingFall BackCollisionCultural Diversity Author:Ruth Benedict
