Cross cultural communication

15 March 2011

Back to TrekThailand home

Our small world is built of many different cultures, lives, traditions, customs and languages. Depending on your upbringing, what you have read, listened, the community and society you have grown up, the life style and ways of thinking you have learnt and practiced, etc. you will find yourselves different from other peoples in one way or another. 

We human being as self proclaimed intelligent creatures on earth have made a lot of changes to ourselves and to the world. Within us we are also having hundreds of countries and thousands and thousands of different tribes and races. We have done millions and millions of media pieces and record productions. Technology and civilizations have been built, and we are still going ahead with our thirst for self fulfillment.

In the history and at the current time there have been larger than healthy amount of unbalances in the flow of love, trust, respect, opportunities among the peoples of the world based on many factors such as past and present performances and abilities, accomplishments and products, look, media representation, bias, misunderstanding, and so on.

These huge unbalances along with other problems, time by time, have created conflicts and wars. Differences in thinking, ideology, belief, etc. should make the world an interesting place of sharing, exchange and life improvement for all of us and the nature we live in.

We should start to create a mass understandiing of different cultures, openness, willingness to listen and talk, and dialogue. What you do and what the others do on a particular matter maybe very different. In the past you might have thought that your way was the best or the right one. From the other points of views, or from the point of views of benefits for others or for the world as a whole your way might no longer be a proper or even a right one.

Whatever the differences we have between us we should be able to listen, ask and answer questions and help each other in positive ways. We should be open enough to make good friends among all of us. We should be able to reduce our egos and be part of the workforce to create a long lasting world for all of us.

Especially now that we are having more and more natural and man-made (often combined) disasters we need better unity and better understanding among us and with our environment. We need to find ways and practice to create a sustainable healthy and interesting world for many generations to come.

So plan your next trip to discover not only the beautiful country scenes and beaches but also different cultures to understand and exchange knowledges and ideas. Practice good cross cultural communication for the health of our world and us.
