• 8．Building relationships and working successfully with different cultural backgrounds can seem like a major challenge.But you can enjoy the rewards，while keeping dissatisfaction to a minimum.The key to making them work is cultural competence.Essentially，cultural competence is defined as the ability to understand and interact effectively with people from different cultures.

      Practice good manners
      No matter whom you are dealing with，make sure that you are respecting others' backgrounds，boundaries and customs.Pay close attention to your communication and make sure that you're speaking to others in a kind and polite way.
      Ask questions
      When you don't understand something or want to know why someone has behaved in a certain way，simply ask.Asking questions stops you making unnecessary assumptions，and shows the questions you did not understand to them.
      Keep in mind that developing cultural competence is not a one-shot enterprise.It takes time and practice.Whether you are in a classroom or on campus，cultural competence plays an important role in your daily environment.Recognizing and dealing with cultural differences will create a happier setting for everyone.
