In both Brazilian and American contexts, 'strict demands' reflects cultural values around excellence and accountability. In the US, strict demands are often associated with meritocracy and high performance standards in competitive environments (sports, academics, business). In Brazil, while also valued, strict demands may be perceived with more flexibility and room for negotiation depending on personal relationships and context, though increasingly influenced by modern corporate culture.
