LEWIS MODEL IN INDIA CULTURE 

The citizens of India are in the middle of two categories of the Lewis model, these are multi-active and reactive. With this we understand that they have a bit of both characteristics, however, when coming to Colombia for an exchange, they could face certain problems in this culture so different from their own in terms of the behavior of people in the city of Barranquilla. As Barranquilleros are part of the Multi-active culture, they tend to be more talkative which is not very common in India culture. This could be the first problem for them, because they may not like to waste time in banal conversations. Second, in India they prioritize courtesy and respect for others, so being in Barranquilla where people tend to be very disrespectful of with the authorities, rules and people, this behavior could couse discomfor to the people of india. Finally, many people in the city of Barranquilla are unpunctual so if the person from India makes plans to meet somewhere with a Barranquillero, it is possible that this will make him wait and it could also be a problem that he would have to deal with, the person from india.
