    An example of what can happen when two people are from two different cultures. "You greet your Austrian client. This is the sixth time you have met over the last 4 months. He calls you Herr Smith. You think of him as a standoffish sort of guy who doesn't want to get really friendly. That might be true in America, where calling someone Mr. Smith after the 6th meeting would probably mean something -- it is marked usage of language -- like "we're not hitting it off". But in Austria, it is normal."

    Getting along with different cultures online is very important. Even though you will have conflicts, you should still try to over come the conflicts to be able to have a friendly relationship with these different people. "An important part of life is being able to get along with each other. But conflicts and misunderstandings, unfortunately, do happen. While resolving disagreement and discord can be difficult for even those of us who share a common nation, language or culture, doing so between people who don't share such commonalities can be even harder."

  • In these cultural clashes, advertisers compare the Internet to magazines and newspapers (where most people expect ads) while Internet diehards compare the Internet to telephones and interpersonal conversations (where ads would be considered intrusive). In fact, Internet areas such as Usenet are areas of two-way communication where, unlike newspapers and magazines, anyone can post messages and contribute equally to the content. Yet, unlike telephone conversations, these areas are disseminated widely, which is what attracts those interested in advertising

    Facebook has been able to show how the internet is able to pass cultural barriers, and has become almost the same thing as the internet in Indonesia. This has caused some in the Muslim religion to call for a ban on Facebook because it breaks cultural barriers and allows for actions that aren't approved by the religion.

    The thing that stood out to me the most here, is the word respect. Everyone should have respect for different cultures online. Having respect can get you a long ways in life. "The best way I would believe would be open communication, respect for others beliefs, ethnicity, privacy, and the rights of an individual in general. An action of one person can make a negative or positive impact on society as a whole. If someone chooses to belittle another for something as serious as their beliefs or as trivial as the way they dress, they set in motion negative responses which will inevitably affect many others"

  • In Israel's capital yesterday, Mitt Romney "added one more flat note to the image of the Republican presidential hopeful's gaffe-prone international foray," the Christian Science Monitor claims. In the New York Times account, Romney "offended Palestinian leaders . . ., thrusting himself again into a volatile issue while on his high-profile overseas trip."

  • Blunders like these can be costly. And as burgeoning markets in Asia increase in importance, new insight is required to break through what you could call a language barrier.As a result of the globalization of business through mergers and international investment, English has become a lingua franca. Almost two billion people worldwide speak it, and more than half of these learned it as a second language. Moreover, global popular culture is dominated by English-language television, music, film, print and social media.

  • An old attitude that makes it difficult to create harmony between the old generations and the new is the behavior of more experienced users towards `newbies' on the net. In the past, one could expect other users to be somewhat familiar with computing environment. People who asked too many `stupid' questions were ostracized and `flamed.' Now the net must handle a gigantic influx of users with less computer experience, who will ask thousands of questions in their exploration of the obscure operations of the Internet.

Global Competence: Prepare Youth to Engage with the World | Asia Society - 0 views

  • This new reality helps us more clearly define the role that education must play in preparing all students for success in an interconnected world. The United States have invested unprecedented resources in education, betting that our outmoded, factory-age system can be fundamentally transformed to prepare students for the rigors of a global economy. 
  •  Globally competent students understand that audiences differ on the basis of culture, geography, faith, ideology, wealth, and other factors and that they may perceive different meanings from the same information.  They can effectively communicate, verbally and non-verbally, with diverse audiences.  Because it is increasingly the world's common language for commerce and communication, globally competent students in the US and elsewhere are proficient in English as well as in at least one other world language. Communicating ideas occurs in a variety of culturally diverse settings, and especially within collaborative teams.  Globally competent students are able to situate themselves in a variety of cultural contexts, organize and participate in diverse groups, and work effectively toward a common goal.

  • Adult literacy/basic education/ESOL students are beginning to use the Internet. An increasing number are very interested in using it for a wide range of purposes: for learning (e.g. to improve reading and writing skills, or take a course;) to access a wide variety of information (e.g. information about the weather, health, travel, other cultures, American news, and -- in the case of ESOL students -- news from their native countries;) for classes at school; for shopping; to communicate with friends, family members, other students, or key pals; for entertainment; for virtual travel; and for the sense of control and power one can feel when using a computer and the Internet. Adult students appear to experience many of the same kinds of difficulties in using the Internet that their teachers do: problems getting access and getting online; having the system crash for a variety of reasons; difficulty figuring out how to navigate online; problems with online and hardcopy instructions; finding out-of-date information at sites; and reading on-screen. Some students also cited problems with their keyboard skills.
