1.     In understanding foreign cultures, someone needs to understand well the cultures to avoid cultural       conflicts. But, many people are failed to understand the values and customs of foreign cultures. According to your own idea, please explain what do you need to have to understand foreign cultures in order to avoid cultural conflicts.

Answer :

Culture is very diverse, namely in terms of local culture and foreign culture. So, in my opinion, understanding foreign cultures to avoid conflict is that we must know the cultures that are applied to foreign cultures in terms of communication and behavior. Intercultural communication teaches us how to communicate with people who have different cultures from us. The reason is by studying intercultural communication, we can more easily adapt, expand relationships, add insight into other cultures and also avoid conflicts between cultures.

Culture in our area or country, Indonesia is very different from foreign cultures. starting from the language used, accent, how to speak, how to dress and also behave.
