Intercultural training

Many people migrate to other countries because of the economic variation or the economic stability of those countries. But it isn’t easy to migrate into the culture of that country because of the differences between the countries. That is why there is so much interest in intercultural training. This training gives information about the culture and religion of a particular country. Some people say that intercultural training stereotypes people. Stereotyping isn’t good because it is based on a minimum of experimental evidence. That is why people don’t like to make judgments based on those stereotypes. Intercultural training recommends making reference on people. A strategy for this is called generalization. This is more reliable then stereotyping. People make opinions by observing people of different cultures and languages. So they traced out the commonalities in behavior and life style. Also interacting is important in this strategy, the experience that they acquire will help them later in real life. (http://crossculturalmgt.com/intercultural-training-and-steriotypes/)
