FOREIGN TO FAMILIAR
by Sarah A. Lanier ~ A Guide to Understanding Hot - and Cold - Climate Cultures ~ The world is getting smaller as more people are traveling, immigrating, fleeing war zones and working overseas. Modern media and the Internet contribute to the blurring of cultural borders, leading us to think there are few cultural differences. In relating to one another, however, the truth soon becomes apparent. Hostilities quickly flare as ethnic groups become polarized and cultural identities are defended. Knowing how to connect in friendship with the people you meet or live among can be difficult when you're unprepared. Simple communication created conflict. Innocent comments produce withdrawal and gossip. Virtually everywhere we turn, we encounter people with very different values and customs, and we often find them to be offensive. This book will serve as a resource for generalizations among different groups of people and their culture.
