Description
Cultural mishaps, innocently insulting others whose traditions and ways are different from ours, occur when one uses his/her cultural assumptions to interact with another culture. As we travel into less explored destinations it is a behavioral minefield and the possibility of offending increases. Cultural mistakes can make one appear rude, reveal one’s unfamiliarity with other cultures, or even cause lost business deals. Learning a few key cultural clues can help you to welcome the Other and to be welcomed by the Other.
