Quiz:
Answer the following questions.

1. Why is it important to be culturally sensitive in the workplace?

 It is important because it minimize the bias, because bias is defined as a person's
disproportionate proclivity to favor or oppose an idea, religion, culture, gender,
age, ethnicity, or orientation. Maintaining cultural sensitivity in the workplace
allows for the inclusion of more perspectives and the spread of awareness of
various cultural values and identities. A strong sense of cultural awareness and
sensitivity aids in the reduction of bias in hiring, promotion, termination, and
decision making. Another important thing was improves collaboration, it is a
workplace that prioritizes cultural sensitivity and awareness is more likely to be
collaborative and inclusive in the development of projects, products, and plans.
When people with diverse skill sets, backgrounds, cultures, and beliefs can
effectively collaborate in a safe environment, they are more likely to be open to
each other's ideas and receptive to each person's unique position or viewpoint.
2. Why do we need effective communication skills for the professions?
 When you use effective communication skills, you can be on the same page as
someone, determine and share a common goal, and understand what works and
what doesn't. Without it, it is nearly impossible to work as a team because you will
be a collection of individuals unable to achieve a common goal. In business, you
must be able to communicate with and understand your customers. A lack of good
communication skills significantly increases the likelihood of misunderstandings,
which ultimately leads to the loss of that clientele, which leads to a loss of income.
3. Consider the following and then counter the four claims made: Some people think that they do
not need to learn to write well to succeed professionally. They figure that (a) once they become
managers, there will be other people to do their writing for them, like secretaries or assistants,
(b) that there are jobs that do not require writing at all, (c) that they can use form letters and
templates, or (d) that they can avoid writing altogether by just calling up or meeting with people
they need to communicate with.
 For me, we will need to learn how to write professionally, but if I choose, I will go
through the first situation because it is true that if you become a manager, you
cannot write because you have your own secretary and assistant, and in this
situation, the decision is from your perspective because you are the manager and
it is your decision whether you can write the thing or your assistant will do it.
