Ways of dealing with different cultural differences

When it comes to the way of looking at things, it’s believed that people from different cultures keep different value stems. There is no doubt that failing to recognize cultural differences will lead to misunderstanding. But how can we deal with these cultural differences? I think there are two most important ways.

For one thing, we mast have knowledge of different cultures, at least the basic culture. For example, we Chinese are very modest, and we tend to say something contrary when we are praised by others, whereas foreigners will say thank you in this condition. Therefore, we must have mastery of other cultures. For another, it’s necessary for us to respect other cultures. As is known to us, different cultures are formed through various ways and through a long history, so we all admire and love our own cultures. So do others. They also hope that others can show respect to their cultures. Thus, if we treat other cultures respectfully we will live a harmony life.

In a word, if we want to be polite and behave properly when confront with different people, we have to know and respect other cultures from our deep heart.
