Cross Cultural Understanding
There are 3 aspects to cross cultural understanding: Customs, Values & Communication.
The interconnection of these three aspects is the Cross Cultural Understanding Triangle, with each side of the triangle representing each of the 3 aspects. As one's understanding of one side of the triangle increases, the understanding of the others can be gained. Limits to one side of a triangle will limit the other two. The better one understands a culture, the larger their triangle.
Customs
Customs are the seen, clear and mostly obvious components of cultural understanding. These are what most people think of when they consider a culture. This aspect includes food, clothes, architecture, art, demographics, geography, etc.
Values
Values can be more difficult to identify. They are not readily observable components of a culture that, in many cases, inform or cause the customs we see. Values involve the heart and soul of a culture and include attitudes, beliefs and perceptions, with deep historical origins.
Communication
Communication is how ideas are shared in a culture. Communication is often the bridge that connects values and customs. While much of communication is the language used, it is also the way people interact, share ideas and understand each other within and outside of the culture.
