Adam was diagnosed with cardiovascular disease, he participated in a research study in which his DNA as well as the DNA of others with cardiovascular disease was compared to the DNA of those who don’t have the disease, in order to pinpoint the region in the human genome connected to the disease. This type of study method is referred to as:

This type of study method is referred to as:Genomics

Explanation:

Genomics involves the mapping of all genes of an organism – this is called the genome.In addition, genomics is the study of the structure of this genome, how it functions/interactions and evolves over time. The -omics suffix is used to signify ‘ in totality’. This study involves the use of equipment like the high throughput DNA sequencers that sequence DNA. Genomic can be used to diagnose and study genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis & Huntington’s disease.

low context culture   (lc.):

association:    

relationships begin and end quickly. many people can be inside one's circle; circle's boundary is not clear.

things get done by following procedures and paying attention to the goal.

one's identity is rooted in oneself and one's accomplishments.

social structure is decentralized; responsibility goes further down (is not concentrated at the top).

interaction:

low use of nonverbal elements. message is carried more by words than by nonverbal means.

verbal message is explicit. context is less important than words.

verbal message is direct; one spells things out exactly.

communication is seen as a way of exchanging information, ideas, and opinions.  

disagreement is depersonalized. one withdraws from conflict with another and gets on with the task. focus is on rational solutions, not personal ones. one can be explicit about another's bothersome behavior.

territoriality:

space is compartmentalized and privately owned; privacy is important, so people are farther apart.

temporality:

things are scheduled to be done at particular times, one thing at a time. what is important is that activity is done efficiently.

change is fast. one can make change and see immediate results.

time is a commodity to be spent or saved. one’s time is one’s own.

learning:

reality is fragmented and compartmentalized. one source of information is used to develop knowledge. thinking is inductive, proceeds from specific to general. focus is on detail.

learning occurs by following explicit directions and explanations of others.

an individual orientation is preferred for learning and problem solving.

speed is valued. how efficiently something is learned is important.
