» Customer Service- Communicating Across Cultures
Course content: When faced by an interaction that we do not understand, people tend to interpret the others involved as "abnormal", "weird", or "wrong". This tendency can lead to prejudice.

In fact, becoming more aware of our cultural differences, as well as exploring our similarities, can help us communicate with each other more effectively.
