ENHANCING YOUR SENSITIVITY TO CULTURE AND DIVERSITY
Understanding the concept of culture Culture is a shared system of symbols,
beliefs, attitudes, values, expectations, and behavior norms.
You belong to several cultures, each of which affects the way you communicate.
You learn culture both directly(by being instructed) and indirectly(by observing others).
Cultures tend to offer views of life that are both coherent(internally logical) and complete(answer all of life’s big questions).

Overcoming Ethnocentrism and Stereotyping
Ethnocentrism is the tendency to judge other groups according to the standards, behaviors, and customs of one’s own group.
Stereotyping is assigning generalized attributes to an individual on the basis of membership in a particular group.
Cultural pluralism is the acceptance of multiple cultures on their own terms.
You can avoid ethnocentrism and stereotyping by avoiding assumptions and judgments and by accepting differences.
