Section 1. Guidelines for reading texts on cross-cultural communication

Cultural diversity, in the context of Caleb Rosado’s text below, covers gender, age, language, ethnicity, cultural background, sexual orientation, religious belief and family responsibilities. Cultural diversity also refers to the other ways in which people are different, such as educational level, life experience, work experience, socio-economic background, personality and marital status. Cultural diversity in a multicultural society envolves recognising the value of individual differences and managing them in the workplace.

It has been proved in the previous units that a multicultural society can be defined as a society or group of people from various backgrounds and ethics. In determining whether a multicultural society has more advantages or disadvantages, both sides of the argument need to be examined. These arguments include tolerance and respect and cultural exchange. A multicultural society may promote an exchange of culture, and this inevitably enriches a person as new approaches and conducts to experience may be garnered. The various approaches and conduct towards a method, problem or experience can help a student make a better decision as well as open mind to the different ways available to conduct, or commence, a problem, or even way of life. It can be seen that in this instance, a multicultural society is an advantage and not a disadvantage.
