    ethnicities, religions, and sexual orientations.

    from right to left and
    almost all other languages
    are written from left to
    right.
    Examples of Cultural Differences
    In America, people
    shake hands, and even
    hug each other. But in
    India they just join
    hands to say namaskar.
    In most asian countries
    they bow their heads.
    In the Philippines we
    ask for blessings from
    our elders.

    removal of barriers between national borders
    in order to facilitate the flow of goods, capital,
    services and labor

    changing age, gender, ethnicity, physical ability

    The Developmental Model of Intercultural
    Sensitivity (DMIS by Bennett and Bennett)
    • Stage 1: Denial. The individual does not recognize
    cultural differences
    • Stage 2: Defense. The individual starts to recognize
    cultural differences and is intimidated by them,
    resulting in either a superior view on own culture or
    an unjustified high regard for the new one
    • Stage 3: Minimization. Although individuals see
    cultural differences, they bank more on the
    universality of ideas rather than on cultural
    differences
    • Stage 4: Acceptance. The individual begins to
    appreciate important cultural differences in
    behaviors and eventually in values
    • Stage 5: Adaptation. The individual is very open
    to world views when accepting new perspectives
    • Stage 6: Integration: Individuals start to go
    beyond their own cultures and see themselves
    and their actions based on multifarious cultural
    viewpoints

    uncertainty

    3. Open-mindedness

    each one in a system or organization influences each other)
    7. politeness
    Tips on How to Refrain from Showing a Bias

    “man” to refer to a general group of people
    3. Do not talk down on younger people and the
    elderly
    4. Be sensitive to the religious practices of others
