Answer:

Peolpe in different culture share different attributes and motives.

Step-by-step explanation:

All cultures are simultaneously very similar yet very different. By this Harry, Triandis meant that people in different cultures share many fundamental human attributes, choices, and motives, yet people in each culture express theses qualities, motives, and attributes in different ways.

For eg, in Indian culture women wears white clothes after the death of the spouse whereas, in western culture, women wear white clothes on the wedding day.
