How can attitudes about assimilation and acculturation influence cross-cultural communication?

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Different cultures have different attitudes toward assimilation and acculturation. Cultures can be characterized by how quickly they accept traditions and new ideas from another culture. Some cultures resist outside influences. The French vigorously guard against foreign words that could "corrupt" their language. A different example is Nelson Mandela, who seeks similarities among cultures.
