"The world of modern professional interactions has greatly evolved in recent years. Gone are the days when you could follow two or three basic etiquette rules to breeze through a meeting." The term "cultural awareness" is often thrown around like a cult mantra by people without much cultural awareness, in a similar way to how the word "tolerance" is often used by arguably the most intolerant people in society. They use it to stop all thinking, and to stop all dialogue when things get a little too uncomfortable for them. It's particularly prevalent in cultural sensitivity training seminars, and HR workshops, but the problem is it has become generic, bland and meaningless over time, like most mantras and slogans. However, this doesn't mean you should close yourself to learning about other cultures, because different cultures carry different communication styles, values, and norms. There will be things that you agree with, things that you disagree with, things that you love and things that you hate. And it's OK for you to feel this way. In fact, you NEED these conflicting viewpoints and messages so that you can grow. If you don't get this conflict, you create what's known as an echo chamber . In an echo chamber, you are surrounded by information and opinions that mimic and amplify your own beliefs, creating a self-reinforcing cycle. It means that you become more and more sure of your beliefs and more and more closed off to anything that challenges those beliefs. This, is muy muy malo for everyone.
