its cultural context. They seek to understand rather than impose their own values.
2. During the Age of Exploration, a powerful nation establishes colonies in a distant land. The explorers impose their

background. The local students often make jokes and dismissive comments about the international students' accents,
traditions, and ways of dressing. The local students consider their own cultural practices as superior, failing to appreciate
the diversity brought by their international peers.

4. A traveler visits a foreign country and notices that people eat with their hands, which is different from the traveler's

integrate into the mainstream society.

7. In a society where foreign products are highly regarded, a new fashion trend emerges from another country. People rush
to embrace this trend simply because it is foreign, assuming it must be more sophisticated and stylish than their own
traditional fashion. In doing so, they reject or downplay the value of their own cultural products and styles in favor of
what is perceived as exotic or foreign.

8. Two neighboring countries with distinct cultures and histories decide to form a political union. In the process, the
societies actively blend elements of their cultures. The shared political, economic, and cultural integration leads to the
emergence of a new, blended identity that incorporates aspects from both original cultures.

9. In a global business setting, employees from different cultural backgrounds collaborate on a project. When faced with a
decision-making process that seems unusual from their perspective, they take the time to understand the cultural context
behind it. Instead of imposing their own cultural norms, they appreciate and respect the diverse approaches to problem-
solving within the team.

10. A family moves to a new country seeking better opportunities. Over time, they adopt the language, customs, and

dominant society.
