Dengue fever rarely occurs in the continental US. However, between March and November 2010, 66 locally acquired dengue cases were associated with Key West, FL. This is an example of: a. Epidemic disease b. Pandemic disease c. Endemic disease d. Hyper-endemic disease e. Sporadic disease

Dengue fever is an epidemic disease

Explanation:

Dengue fever is an epidemic disease because "epi" means upon, it refers to the instantaneous spread of infectious disease to a large number of people in a given population within a particular period of time.

In the question provided, the location of the people is continental US, the time periods are March and November 2010, with 66 locally acquired dengue cases.

Thus, the answer is epidemic 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.
