Reflection
Throughout this course, you have learned that culture is everywhere.
You find culture in various settings. Whether that is within your
organizations, schools, or communities, it is difficult to escape the
notion of culture. Even within the various cultural settings, you find
subsections of culture. For example, organizations have various
departmental cultures. And within these departments, each department has
its own culture. And even within that culture, you may find a culture
that is political in nature. It is difficult to escape culture in your
world. How organizations view culture is very important. With a clearer
understanding of culture, you find that organizations tend to function
better when they have a better understanding of culture. This creates
synergies that render them more flexible, adaptive, and resilient to a
diverse workforce.
Cultural issues within a cultural setting arise when there are
differences in perceptions. This conflict can undoubtedly bring about
friction between the two parties. However, you have learned in this
course that both parties should seek to understand their own cultural
differences. Doing this reduces the friction that comes with the various
views or perceptions that each culture holds.
As you reflect this week, think about your own cultural perceptions
and norms. How do these perceptions and or norms impact the way you work
with others? Also, think about ways you can seek to understand the
cultural perceptions and norms of those around you.
