Have you ever had a dream that one day you will wake up and you will be a different person? You may speak French or for that matter German and your country and your accent would be different, Will you be in shock?? Hard to imagine?
The reason I mentioned this is to understand why diversity, adaptability towards it is so important in our lives?
Is it built by ourselves or may be the changing scenarios?
In today’s world we are dealing with people from different cultures, interact with them, learn and somewhere go along very well. We meet them during professional meets, personal interactions and where not. In fact India itself has diverse culture. Person sitting next to you may be from different state having different thinking, native language etc
Nowadays cities are also converting into culturally diverse places where a person from across the country or outside comes for work, for education, after marriage. People from towns are moving to the Metros and they adapt the Metro cultures and live their entire life in there.
So actually there is no single culture exists within the world, A cultural mix, diversity has overruled any one culture.
What could be the reason that people have become so flexible to adapt to the person’s need sitting next to him? Why are people following an easy approach for accepting the other culture? It’s all because people are now use to working with people across the world, across different cultures. It is all because they have got the glimpse of living in a updated environment, which gives them competitive edge while interacting with them, giving a comfort level while working. It Improves relations and motivate people to work effectively.
Imagine you go for your meeting with a person with a different culture, what would you think you will be doing before the meeting?
Nothing or may be a quick research??
Quick research helps you to predict the behavior of the meeting party, what do they like , what they don’t, because as always said Breaking the Ice is very difficult but how you can break it is the important point here. May be by talking about him, understanding him with a little background from what you have researched.
And Now adaptability towards different culture has been our natural behavior. Have you ever realized that knowingly or unknowingly we are adapting the cultures we see around,and it has really become important in today’s world. The more you adapt , more you learn, more you feel comfortable and Nothing is good or bad in this world to adapt.Its individual’s own perspective to differentiate.Infact our children are more flexible than our generation because they have seen us adapting and following a easy going approach to new things.
In today’s scenario where people are only rushing and have no time to sit back and realize that we have come a long way leaving behind the stubborn approach & mindsets. Its time to feel proud and realize that there is a lot of acceptance which has come in us which helps us , our country to work better and that’s where you say “ We are Global!!!!!”
