Cross Cultural Understanding

Hi……………….!!!!!!!!!! Ms. Julianne, I am so proud about your material exactly cross culture understanding. For the first time I learned about it. Cross cultural understanding is shapes the future why is that because with the cross culture understanding , we have known how to make a compare and contrast between each country in over the world.

Cross culture understanding or we can call it CCU help us to establish and understand what should we do in communicating with each other in different culture. We can share about anything such as values, understandings, assumptions, and goals that are learned from earlier generations until present day. Like you tell us last week. It also refers to people ability in doing something to know, to interpret, and to react correctly with the situation that probably yield misunderstanding. Cross cultural understanding simply refers to the basic ability of people within business to recognize interpret and correctly react to problem about cultural, economic. Etc.

Cross cultural understanding is one of necessary ingredients in cross national understanding. Cross cultural understanding is concerned with understanding people from different cultural backgrounds. In order to be able to do business with them, work with them, or possibly move to and function in their countries. Culture find expression through the patterns behavior, decision-making process, ethnic, morals and

values on which a society is based. National culture are built up over many years, and spring from a country’s history, geography, sociology, language and religion.

When we provide cross cultural guidance, we begin by making participants aware of the fact that their own behavior is very much culturally, fundamental value, system and morals they see as normal will often appear strange to people from other countries. A certain insight into one’s own culture is an important prerequisite for understanding other culture.

We then examine the specific cultural area within which the participant must function. We look at patterns about behavior, but also attempt to provide a historical, geographical, sociological, religion, to know about and understand what lies behind the culture of each countries. It is make easy to know it.

A process of cross cultural understanding always concludes with an evaluation of whether the goal has been satisfactory fulfilled. There will also be an opportunity to know about relation to any problem. CCU is better to be learnt earlier especially for Indonesian because in fact Indonesia consists of many cultures. We will find many different language, dialect, behavior, customs, cuisine, traditional dress, wedding party, special agenda, and many more. It is not only a part of language learns, but also it is learnt separately in every grade in Indonesia or the other country

I will make compare and contrast about American and Indonesian culture. 1. Indonesia is one of “Malay Group” melayu Malays (Malay: Melayu) are an ethnic group of Austronesian peoples. Most of all this ethnic group’s

culture is so different with another

culture in over

the world. Including in Malay

(ethnic group) are,

Indonesia,

Malaysia,

Brunei Darussalam.

Example.: •

1st. most the people in Indonesia wearing decent clothes it’s so different in American. In my mind, most of the people are not wearing proper clothing

•

2nd. Indonesia college student wearing formal cloth but in America it’s so different. That’s fair.

•

3rd. think about live together without matrimony. In America that’s right but for the best of my knowledge that’s wrong in Indonesia because Indonesia is Islamic country, we have a role. Its look like lack of religion teaching

•

4th. For example, Indonesian people talk begin with the wind conversation as an opening before they go to the point of the topic that they want exactly talk about. Different with Americans, Germany and Franc, they are delivered what they thought directly. This is the fact that it is not easy to understand about culture each other.

•

We are live in globalization era which the people do communication with other people that has a different culture, Working, meeting, dealing, entertaining, negotiating with colleagues from diferent cultures can be a minefield We can conclude that, cross culture understanding is a fancy way of saying takes the time to learn about other people. If there are some conflicts or misunderstanding in some cultures, it probably will appear a bigger problem in those cultures. A problem about accost somebody to have a relationship in community will destroy the truly aim if we don’t understand native culture.
