Sylvia Schroll-Machl writes about German cultural standards. Although her work is empirically ascertained and presented in a systematic way, she is able to maintain a certain self-critical levity. Her target groups are Germans and foreigners, who vocationally have something to do with Germans. Her goal is to promote mutual understanding and to offer assistance for intercultural interactions.
