How do I relate cross culturally on a local, national, and international basic?
Wow what a question right? People are connected in a variety of different ways; living situations, sexual orientation, religion, race, sex, area of the world, or even area of town.
On a local level I think I can relate to a lot of different backgrounds. There are a lot of things I have gone through in my 22 years that others also went through. It is most easy to reach the people in your local area just by taking the time to do so. But the first step is to try and go outside your comfort zone.
Nationally it gets a bit difficult because most people can’t travel and visit with people and get to know them. However, Facebook makes this task doable. Americans as a whole have a lot of similarities as well and if we just took the time to find them friends would be all over the U.S.
Internationally the similarities are less because they way we live are different. I would personally love to travel all over the world and just meet people and learn about their lives. I think that I am very arrogant to their lifestyles though so it would be a great learning experience.
I’m not sure how well I answered this question but I hope you enjoyed my thoughts.
