uncertainty avoidance

i learned this phrase during tutorial on malaysia: cultural and religious practice.
according to Hofstede, uncertainty avoidance means "the extent to which people within a culture are made nervous by unpredictable, unclear or unstructured situation,
therefore they try to avoid by maintaining strict codes of behavior and a belief in absolute truths."


in a word, uncertainty avoidance means the avoidance from something that is not unpredictable.

according to research conducted by Hofstede, majority malaysian is in the middle of high and low uncertainty avoidance.

future is unpredictable, i'm willing to take the challenge although i'm afraid of uncertainty at the same time.
that's the real meaning of LIFE. always progress and change.

if u do not change and maintain the same level after 10years, then you will be knockout by the tide of development.
if your future and lifen is arranged by elder or parents, then what's the meaning of LIFE?
