1 What are some examples of cultural awareness?

9) How do you become culturally aware?

It is impossible to speak about being global without the ability to deal with different cultures. Global companies engage in cross-cultural business relations, lead multicultural teams, develop intercultural competencies, strive to increase cultural awareness and look for cultural intelligence. In short, a clear message in today’s globalized world is that success is built by joint efforts of people from different cultural backgrounds, who have the will, skills and knowledge to effectively interact with each other.

David Livermore, a prominent thought leader on cultural intelligence, states: “The inward, transformative journey of cultural intelligence involves a heightened understanding of our own cultural background. In what ways are we shaped by the cultures of which we’re a part? How does our cultural background shape the way we think, see, and love? … This kind of understanding about our own cultural background…plays a significant role in helping us move forward in the journey of cultural intelligence.”
10) How do I become more culturally aware?

Hello,

The term "culturally" has me at a disadvantage, but I suspect you mean more aware of cultures that are near to you in some way, as though you live in a big city with diverse groups in it.

If this is the case, the easiest way is to watch films made by and about those groups. It also helps to read books in that same vein.

To be aware of your surrounding, you have to explore them for yourself.

If it is not safe to go alone, then don't. Bring trusted friends who will not desert you if things turn nasty. Remember half of survival is flight. Do not be afraid to run away from a scary situation.

Being aware means to always be paying attention.

Be afraid only after you find things to fear, and not before. Real life is scary enough without imagining unreal fears.
