There are cultural differences between nations, and the risk of cross-cultural misunderstandings when interacting with foreigners.
Can you share with the class an example of cross-cultural misunderstanding that you personally experienced or witnessed when you or an American colleague/friend interacted with a foreigner?
If you can, please share a work-related example. It may have happened in the USA, or while overseas.
In hindsight, what went wrong? How could it have been avoided?
