Dear Student,

Please find below answer to your questions

Part 1.1

A) Learning from other cultures by showing interest in their culture

B) Importance to develop relationships with people from other culture

C) Intercultural relation benefits

Cultures are nothing but arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded together. It is usually never ending as it is passed on from one generation to the other generation.

The certain norms and values are taught to us even before we generally understand what culture really means or what it is all about. moreover, without even questioning let alone objecting it, we go on with it and follow it.

Humans are so habituated with it that we find other cultures weird and strange. We see things from the perspective from our culture and we somehow aspect other people to behave in the same manner.

Since, people belong to other culture they obviously have different ways and different perspective towards life. There have been clashes and confusions in the past from different cultures.

Muslims and Hindu have that usual clash based on the simpler things. The agenda is nothing serious but both the tribes extend that issue and make it a big deal.

This is all because of the perception and over-dedication towards one's culture. Looking at the present context, people from one culture feel that it's entirely and solely about only their culture.

It isn't just about one specific culture but almost all the people belonging to various cultures all over the globe.According to my point of view I strongly feel that all of these clashes, misconception is because that people haven't actually understood their own culture.

For a matter of fact, none of the cultures have the context to only blindly follow that specific culture and discard other cultures.

Furthermore, people should be considerate enough and stop being judgemental based on their culture, cast, race, religion. We need to be more open-minded and accept all the cultures and not judge people.

When we finally know about our culture, like understand it anc not just blindly believe in it because people are normally told about it only then start respecting it and maybe then people will know the real importance of culture and their heritage.

Part 1.2

A) Cultural indifference which are salient in causing misunderstanding

B) Example of Situations misunderstanding within intercultural relation of someone

C) Various issues due to cultural differences

As per my belief that imagining life without culture is not even a thought to be given about anymore. People these days are so involved into culture, that it is obvious in some context as this is something we have always did know and accept about.

It is passed down from our ancestors and we are conserving them, promoting and passing it down from our generation to another generations.

We are in the comfort zone and so used to the thought that we never even have that tad bit of urge to question about its existence.

Many more times we are even biased and have that feeling that our culture is literally the best and put the other culture down. We are so into our culture that we have the mentality that the way we do things should be the same even for the other cultures.

We feel that everything we have in our culture is basically correct and if the other culture does the same thing in a different way, it is weird and stange for us.

For instance the hindus tend to slay the animals by their neck and when it comes to Muslim they slaughter their animals by their throat.

It is strange for Hindus to see this and vise versa, it is also said that Muslims do not eat meat if the animal is not slaughtered by their throat. According to me I see that there is no difference at all.

The final goal is to eat meat it is only the method that is different. This is just one of such example, but it is usually made a huge fuss about.

People cannot accept the fact that it is only a different culture, as per my opinion people are very obsessed with their thoughts, methods that they cannot seem to accept other cultures at all. It is wrong no matter what this is a misconception.

People have their own thoughts and perception it is not something that could be taught in school by their teacher or by doing research on the web.

The main thing to do it become open minded. We need to realize the fact that there are various culture besides as and it is equally weird for them when they take a peak in our cultures.

Just because our ways of doing few things differently, does not mean everyone else should follow the same path. It is impossible to have similar cultures and way throughout the world. Acceptance and understanding is the only way to combat the situation.

We need to stop being judgemental all that we could do at our best is understand and learn the other culture, personally I feel that knowing about worldwide culture make us more knowledgeable, social and have a better view globally.
