There are far too many cultures to be able to know about all of them. Consider some of the examples on this website, remembering that cultures are in relation to age, gender, occupation, etc as well as ethnicity. You may want to review the concept of culture before or after having looked at some examples. Hopefully this information will help you to understand the behaviour and values of others, but there are always problems associated with putting this knowledge into practice. If you have not explored some of the Hazards on your travels, do so now. While it’s important to seriously consider the potential problems of responding to cultural diversity in the workplace, don’t let them overwhelm you. There are some simple guidelines for good practice.
Special notes
