Multi
Cultures
InterConsult21 ©
Factor in City Assessment
Ordinary person moves
(immigrates) freely across the borders and cultures and languages in the
Globalization era. The challenge of such movement is not easy. It bears
overt and covert obstacles in language, education, training, habits,
tradition, believes and disbelieves and in many occasions not spoken
norms and values. The problem is double folded when moving to either a
homogeneous strong culture or to a country with completely different
language.
The complexity of taking those
obstacles in the working place and the surrounding should be a challenge
to companies, organizations, politicians, cities and countries.
The best way to cope with
differences is to approach cultures and not language. When ordinary
people, or
Ethnic groups,
identify themselves in a society, the barriers of communication
and fear to approach each other slowly vanish and a state of eagerness
and respect may arise.
InterConsult21 advocates that
intensive interest and learning of each others culture is creating a
multi culture environment with very rich resources and inspiration. It
is best to reach people on their own cultural terms.
InterConsult21’scale for Multi Culture varies
from -5 (for negative holding and disrespect of other Cultures in a
City) to 5 (for a very high interest in others Multi Culture and people
with different backgrounds in a City). |
