Expert Solution
Step 1

Laredona, a colleague, belongs to Belgium, and cultural tolerance and approach are different from mine. She never hesitates before speaking, whether it's brutal or not. In contrast, in my case, I hesitate and think twice before uttering anything because straightforwardness is not welcoming in my culture.

Rihana, the next-door neighbor, considers fitness a prime aspect of life and never goes beyond the routine. In my case, I feel fitness is secondary but living the moment is important, so I do cheat meals.

Michelle is the new HR in the office that plays basketball each weekend and pushes others to do so. I never push one to do things my way because sport or anything else is a personal preference.
