My relation to people from other countries is that I go to a multicultural school. One of my best friends is Romanian. We have many Filipino students who I get on with well and we also have a strong Pasifika background. New Zealand has vast cultures so I deal with different cultured people everyday.Through this I know about the Philippines and have learnt some Tagalog from Filipinos. I have also learnt about Romanian culture, food and language.I have learnt this by talking top these people and asking questions. The advantages of being in a community that is multi culture is that you learn about the world and see what it is like from another countries aspect. Disadvantages of this is that people will talk in their language and you can't understand them. It takes some people longer to learn if they don't know language. Challenges of interacting with different culture people is that they can sometimes misunderstand or misinterpret what you are saying. I approach them as I would as any other person. I ask about their language and their country to make a starting point in the relationship. My overall experience with people from other countries is that I have found that people from east Asia are very nice and well mannered people. I enjoy learning about cultures of other countries in the world as I will probably not be able to travel when I am older.

ReplyDeleteNice reflection. My own background lies with economics. How might multiculturalism be significant in the world of business and trade?
