When we are traveling, there a lot of factors that we need to remember and be aware of. There are a lot of things we need to consider to have a happy and peaceful journey. One of these is being aware of the cultural differences. You may ask, why do we need to be aware of it, and why do we need to be culturally appropriate?
Cultural differences are known to be the expressions considered unique to the members of a specific ethnicity, race or national origin, which includes, various beliefs, behaviors, languages, practices and expressions. Being aware of cultural differences is really important,we need it for our communication to be insightful and to have considerate decisions. When travelling across the countries, having cultural differences, it is necessary to understand the rules and expectation of theirs, it is not just applicable when you're on a vacation trip but also throughout your proffessional life. Knowing the different culutures will make you have a good communication with others, being lack of cultural awareness may lead you to misunderstanding and have repulsive thoughts. There are cultures which are good in our country, but not to the others. Others may convey our accustomed beliefs adverse to the way we meant it and it is necessary to know if it's a bad or a good practice to them, for this may cause us trouble. It is like what one of my senior's told me, that this cultural differences we know about the people in different countries is like an ice berg, wherein we can only see the 1% of their cultures, especially if we're not culturally related. Cultures being the one molding us, it is very important to know beacause it's one of the reasons why we're having effective and not effective communications in the society.
Being culturally appropriate is important when you travel. By this, you can show your appreciation and respect to the culture of the place you're in, and you'll have a happy and peaceful tour in there. It is very important, not just when you are on a vacation but also even in your workplace. I've read that large corporations now includes cultural sensetivity training in their employee on boarding process to have a better communication with others. Being culturally appropriate is really necessary to do, this helps everyone grow their understanding about their sorroundings, and make time be spent more productive and meaningful.
