AccordingtotheHallmodel,whichisproposedinhisbooksTheSilentLanguageandUnderstandingCulturalDifferences,E.T.halllabeledthemostofthepeoplewithtwopairsofcontrastingcultures.Highcontextculture,whichistypicallyrepresentedbyChina,JapanandFrance.Peoplefromthesecountrieswillusuallydothingspolyphonically,whichmeanstheytendtodoseveralthingsatthesametime.Onthecontrary,therestandatotallydisparategroup,whoisthelowcontextculture,bestdeducedbycountrieslikeGermany,AmericaandCanada,andthesegroupsofpeoplewillbemorelikelytodothingsoneatatimeandinsequence,thatistosaytheybelongtothemonochromiccultures.Inthetwotypesofcountries,usuallytheCSRwillbepresentedinquitedifferentway,suchasthedifferentroleoftradeunionintwotypesofcountriesandovertimepaymentissue.
