How to Develop Multi-cultural Skills?
“If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to a man in his own language, that goes to his heart”, Nelson Mandela.
INTRODUCTION:
When Hollywood actor Richard Gere publicly kissed Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty, people made a hue and cry over the scene and on the issue across India. Neither Richard Gere was wrong in kissing and nor Shilpa Shetty was wrong in getting kissed but the culture and country in which such a scene happened drew the public and media attention. Although their intentions were right but their actions were misunderstood and were criticized by public. It is a case of cultural differences between two people from two different cultural backgrounds.
WHAT IS CULTURE?

One of the best times to visit the Mother City is during the festive season, when the warm weather and spectacular scenery make for a blissful summer holiday. Time and again, Cape Town has been voted one of the planet’s most beautiful places, and you can experience it for yourself this summer.
It’s almost impossible to pack everything in to a single Cape Town holiday – there’s just so much to experience in the city. The best idea is to create a holiday itinerary before you arrive. That way, you won’t waste any time once you arrive, and you’ll be able to start the sightseeing straight away!
