Intercultural Awareness

 Level 1 Basic Cultural Awareness

The purpose of level 1 cultural awareness is human awareness or ability to recognize and
be aware of cultural values in themselves and others. At this level, humans are required to
realize that habits or behaviour, and the norms contained in everyday life, are cultures
that must be preserved. Level 1 basic Cultural Awareness usually affects behaviour in
maintaining the culture. This awareness builds the ability to compare other people's
cultures with one's own.
 Level 2 Advanced Cultural Awareness
Level 2 Cultural Awareness means that culture does not belong to individuals but belong
together. At this level, people begin to realize that culture is dynamic and always
changes with the times. A sense of tolerance also begins to appear in humans who have
reached level 2 of Cultural Awareness, they better understand the differences in each
culture and so they are not stuck and apathetic to accept differences.
 Level 3 Advanced Cultural Awareness
At this level, humans develop more about culture as a means of communication and
negotiation between cultures and as a tool to mediate the various socio-cultural faculties
that are emerging. In addition, this level can also be used as a pedagogy or learning
reference which will serve as an accurate demand for cultural development in education.
