In health care, working with different cultures is inevitable. You will cross paths with people from all walks of life that do not think/believe as you do. RICS recruit composed a list of 10 ways to work effectively across cultures. Look at the list, do you agree? Is something missing? What would you add to the list?

HERE IS A EXAMPLE OF A STUDENT RESPONDS TO PROFESSOR POST:
Hi Dr. Shivers,
In addition to your post, we live in a dynamic, multicultural world where there is a need for intercultural exchange. Looking at the RICS recruit list, I agree totally with the 10 ways to work effectively across cultures. If we are highly shielded, in many forms, every day, we find diversity all around us. In a situation in which we find ourselves, there are always new and constructive lessons we can learn from others; and how better to discover new things than in a team that works day after day together. It can surely be said that a better, more adaptable team would be a diverse team (RICS Recruit 2017). Culture can be a very valuable thing, both to cultivate in ourselves and to admire in others or some expressions of culture. But, many of the things that we persistently lock on, or fear in others, are not worthy of the word. They are components of stereotypes or earmarks of a subculture in certain ways, and we literally use them as bricks in the walls around ourselves or those that we build. We can either defensively or offensively use them (Foley & Lahr 2011).
