Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Recognizing our own cultural biases and working to minimize those will improve the communication process. Communication should be meaningful to the audience, and that audience may or may not be as culturally aware. Avoid stereotyping and be prepared to change your habits and thoughts. Since you cannot change others, it is important that you recognize your own cultural limitations and learn how to communicate respect for other cultures.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A
Explanation: A) As with other elements of diversity, success starts with respect for individuals and sensitivity to differences. Employers can also invest in a variety of assistive technologies that help create a vital link for thousands of employees with disabilities, giving them opportunities to pursue a greater range of career paths and giving employers access to a broader base of talent.
