The author also referred culture as an 'Onion' metaphor. The surface culture indicates things that can be readily observed, such as __ A. Dress code B. Food C. Explicit artefact D. All of the above B B D A C

Answer 1

The question pertains to Hofstede's 'Onion' model of culture, which depicted culture in a layered manner similar to an onion. According to this model, surface culture represented things that can be readily observed, which are most overt aspects of the cultural newness or oddities a novitiate to any culture confronts - like foods, dress, music, visual arts, drama, crafts, dancing. The question is asking which of the options are part of surface culture - Dress code, Food, Explicit artefact, or All of the above.
