    teacher.

    2. What do you think is the connection of the examples to the Indians students?

    the Filipino-Turkish Tolerance High School when he meet with he’s Arab friend and they kiss on each
    other chick we think it’s weird because they are both male but its just pleasant with them as their sign of
    respect and greetings.

    2. As a conscientious student what have you done so far to avoid miscommunication and misunderstanding when
    communicating with people of different cultures?

    everyone, to learn and to avoid miscommunication and misunderstanding to people with different
    cultures I’ll take time to understood and be open to what other people are saying.
