Learning to Understand Cultures : An Introduction to Intercultural Encounters
Overview
"We do it this way. How about you?"
If you are able to talk with a person from another culture on this level, then you will have already overcome many hurdles: you will have mustered the courage to get into a relationship.
Cultural theory - illustrated with many examples - can be the backdrop and help when you meet a dead end of misunderstandings despite all efforts.
"Ah, that is why " may be your reaction while you read and reflect on your own experiences.
