I agree with everything you’ve observed Zeenat. We need to be open to others customs, traditions, norms and respect them even if we don’t understand them. Thank you for adding to the conversation.

While it can be enriching and fun to meet new people, that cultural difference also needs to be seeped in respect for the differences….which I feel is lacking in the world today. For the most part, its not that hard, but yet some experiences leave us wondering.

Thank you for sharing your experience and recommendations, Barb. Sometimes its the small things that can make the biggest difference in how we are seen by others from a different culture.

I can relate. I think when one lives in a cosmopolitan area, we are more accustomed to people from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds but not so much as we move away to other areas. That’s when the danger of stereotype mindsets starts which is dangerous.

Thanks for sharing your experience and observations, Barb.

You’re welcome Debra. Bridging a cultural difference doesn’t need to be rocket science. It just requires a keen mind that wants to learn and demonstrate sensitivity to others.

As an editor at the time, we used red ink pens for marking, and I remember how surprised I was to learn that use of the red ink had a completely different meaning in some cultures than what we were intending by our use of red ink marks. My suggestion for bridging cultural differences in the business world with ease would first be to create an awareness. I never forgot the meeting we had — it was an eye-opener to me. So I would stress awareness/education and from that I believe would come acceptance.

I was always eager to learn about how others saw the world, even in business, and it wasn’t until I moved out of state that I encountered people putting stereotypes on others because of their ethnic identity.

Lots of thought-provoking yet practical suggestions that I can implement immediately. Thank you Vatsala
