Linder Theory which is a considerable theory about international manufactured goods trade suggests that international trade in manufactured goods will be more intense between countries with similar per capita income levels than between countries with dissimilar per capita income levels. But in practice, cultural differences between countries may also restrain the density of trade. This literature survey will aim to explain the relationship between income level and culture which may be different for one to another group. G. Hofstede who is an influential cultural anthropologist suggests five different cultural dimension to explain cultural differences between countries. Later, Hofstede calculates the values of different countries in these dimensions. So, in this study, initially, international trade in manufactured goods between similar per capital income levels will be examined. This will be done by comparing per capital income levels of selected countries. OECD data in trade and TÜİK's data (for Turkey) will be used in comparison. Later Hofstede's data will be used. In conclusion, the survey will try to explain how large are the effects of cultural differences between countries with similar income levels in international trade in manufactured goods. Previous studies generally find statistically significant results, but the main framework of these studies suggests controversial results. The study has aimed to commit a literature survey and in this study, comparisons of trade flow between countries are also controversial.

Culture and differences in culture across the globe form an important aspect of marketing. One of the biggest factors that is taken into consideration by both marketing analysts and consumers is culture. Cultural Marketing, therefore, has gained importance as a way of marketing and market research. Especially when it comes to international trade and global marketing. The volatile nature of cultures as a concept makes it very difficult to predict the success or failure of a product or service. Cultural differences in marketing, therefore form the fundamental decision-making factors in the international marketing arena. This paper studies the consumers’ perception towards marketing strategies that align with their culture and the subsequent decisions they are likely to take based on these factions. Understanding this psychology is crucial to ensuring that a company can get a good return on its market investments while still generating a profit. Hence understanding the culture of a particular region before entering it is crucial and can play a huge role in the success of the company in that region.

Abstract The argument against innatism at the heart of Cognitive Gadgets is provocative but premature, and is vitiated by dichotomous thinking, interpretive double standards, and evidence cherry-picking. I illustrate my criticism by addressing the heritability of imitation and mindreading, the relevance of twin studies, and the meaning of cross-cultural differences in theory of mind development. Reaching an integrative understanding of genetic inheritance, plasticity, and learning is a formidable task that demands a more nuanced evolutionary approach.
