Distinguish between tight and loose cultures. Provide examples.

In a tight culture, such as ones found in Malaysia, Korea, or Japan, people guide their behaviour according to expectations set by very clear social norms. They try to conform to these norms, understanding that any deviation will be noticed and discouraged and not be tolerated. The goal is to fit in and not stand out. On the other hand, in a loose culture, such as Hungary, Brazil, or Australia, people show general or mixed concern for social norms, and these norms may be broad and ambiguous. Conformity is mixed; deviations from norms tend to be tolerated unless they reach criminal territory or the extremes of morality.
