A person refuses to acknowledge the subtle or major differences in culture. Stage four: acceptance. A person recognizes cultural differences. Stage five: adaptation. A person seeks to adapt his or her behavior appropriately. Stage six: integration. A person moves freely in and out of his or her own cultural mindset while adapting to others.
