Intro
Culture is a way of thinking and living whereby one picks up a set of attitudes, values, norms, and beliefs that are taught and reinforced by other members in the group. This set of basic assumptions and solutions to the problems of the world is a shared system that is passed on from generation to generation to ensure survival. A culture consists of unwritten and written principles and laws that guide how an individual interacts with the outside world. Members of a culture can be identified by the fact that they share some similarity. They may be united by religion, by geography, by race, or ethnicity.
Our cultural understanding of the world and everything in it ultimately affects our style of communication as we start picking up ways of one’s culture at around the same time we start learning to communicate. Culture influences the words we speak and our behavior.
In today's globalized business environment, effectively communicating across cultures is not just an asset but a necessity. Multicultural teams are now commonplace, bringing together diverse perspectives that can lead to innovative solutions and growth. However, this amalgamation of different cultures also presents unique challenges, from misunderstandings rooted in cultural nuances to differing approaches to hierarchy and decision-making.
Effective cross-cultural communication fosters an environment where every team member feels valued and understood. The ideal dynamic involves a seamless exchange of ideas, where diversity is leveraged as a strength rather than a hurdle, enabling teams to collaborate efficiently and harmoniously toward their common goals.
Goals
The purpose of the Cross-Cultural Conversation and writing each individual’s thesis work, students will learn and connect to develop cultural understanding in today's global and local community by different cultures through conversations.
