Answer to Question 1

Answer: E
Explanation: E) You can begin to learn how people in other cultures want to be treated by recognizing and accommodating eight main types of cultural differences: contextual, legal and ethical, social, age, nonverbal, gender, religious, and ability.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Avoid assumptions. Don't assume that others will act the same way you do, use language and symbols the same way you do, or even operate from the same values and beliefs. For instance, in a comparison of the 10 most important values in three cultures, people from the United States had no values in common with people from Japanese or Arab cultures. Avoid judgments. When people act differently, don't conclude that they are in error or that their way is invalid or inferior. Acknowledge distinctions. Don't ignore the differences between another person's culture and your own.
