this is a PowerPoint presentation on first catch up Friday week entitled intracultural relations. This topic is under AP and values. PowerPoint presentation focuses on the stereotypes and the ways in which intrapersonal relations can be established by students. This PowerPoint focuses on the feasible ways in which individual

3. Intercultural relations are relations
between groups or individuals from
different cultures. These relations can be
characterized by the acknowledgment of
different world visions or by the ignorance
of them.

4. Intercultural relationships also help us
rethink stereotypes we might hold. Martin
and Nakayama (2014) point out that the
differences we perceive within our
intercultural partners tend to be more
noticeable in the early stages of the
relationship.

6. Language. Not speaking the same
language (well) can cause a myriad of
misunderstandings and is considered the
most crucial barrier in cross-cultural
communication. Verbal communication is
important in every context, but the
meaning of words can literally get lost in
translation.

7. Intercultural describes communities in
which there is a deep understanding
and respect for all cultures.
Intercultural communication focuses
on the mutual exchange of ideas and
cultural norms and the development of
deep relationships.

8. A stereotype is a fixed general
image or set of characteristics
that a lot of people believe
represent a particular type of
person or thing.

9. Asians are often said to be good at math, while
Mexican's have the reputation of being lazy;
Blacks are said to have a natural feeling for
rhythm, while Native Americans are accused of
having a tendency towards alcoholism – to
name just a few common stereotypes.

10. Deep, authentic relationships
between people from different
cultures that go beyond shallow
courtesy and politeness.

11. 1. Start with your own bias. Be honest with yourself about the stereotypes you hold of
another‘s culture, customs, and life experience. We all have them, but through
acknowledging them, we can work to overcome them.
2. Identify your intentions. Consider why you want to reach out to with this person. Be
upfront about your motivations, so that everyone feels safe. Your reasons might be as
simple as encouraging community in your neighborhood or believing that it is
important for us to take care of each other.
3.Smile and say hello. Never underestimate the power of a smile! As Mother Teresa
once said, “Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person,
a beautiful thing.”

12. 4. Educate yourself. Do your own research to gain some basic insights into another
culture (but don’t think it makes you an expert!). Read a novel by an author from that
country. Visit a place of worship. Attend a cultural event. Opportunities are endless in
today’s connected world.
5. Spend time in unfamiliar spaces. We often spend the majority of our time in places
and amongst people who are “like us.” Or we invite someone into relationship only on
our own terms and turf. Be willing to step outside your own comfort zone and meet
others in theirs.
6. Don’t tokenize. Never expect one person, especially someone with whom you do
not already have a relationship, to represent his or her entire ethnic group, culture,
religion, or race. Ask questions only if you sincerely want to hear the answer. It’s not
your role to judge someone else’s truth.
7. It’s not all about you. Teaching others about our identity can sometimes take
significant mental and emotional energy. If someone does choose to teach you,
recognize it as a gift. Be sensitive to how much he or she is willing to share; don’t
prioritize your learning at another’s expense.


13. 8. Don’t appropriate. You may admire a culture that is not your own, but you can
never “own” it. Be careful how you participate, especially in matters of spirituality, ritual,
and tradition. Let someone from that culture invite you or tell you how you can best
honor what is sacred to him or her.
9. Learn names with correct pronunciation. Everyone appreciates being known. Make
an intentional effort to remember unfamiliar names. Try addressing someone at least
three times throughout a conversation to help it stick. Be humble and ask again, if
necessary.
10. Mange your expectations. Move slowly and understand that you may not
experience an immediate bond. Building trust takes time. Create norms together for
developing the relationship, rather than assuming that what is right for you is also right
for the other person.
11. Let children play. Children have a magical way of breaking through language
barriers and cultural differences. You may find a starting point for building a
relationship with the parents of your child’s friends.
12. Share a meal. Food is a huge part of culture, and sharing a meal together almost
universally represents and deepens friendship. Wait until you’ve established a base of
trust, and be prepared to encounter new foods, etiquette customs, and cultural or
religious dietary restrictions.

14. 13. Be willing to share yourself. As in any relationship, you
must also be willing to give. Put the other person at ease
about where you come from and who you are, and he or she
may open up in turn.
14. Have humility, apologize, and move forward. Despite
your best efforts, miscommunications will likely happen. Be
patient with yourself, and hear what others have to tell you. No
need to walk on eggshells—admit mistakes, apologize, learn,
and move forward.
15. Be human. Our differences are real and shape how we
experience the world. But at our core, we are all human beings
with similar needs and desires. Identify the things you share,
and remember that we each need the other to reach our full
potential.

15.  In your Group assign Leader and secretary.
 Form a circle and share your realizations with your group members.
 The Secretary will take down notes on their realizations on the topic about
intercultural relations.
 After the sharing the Group leader will assign a member who will share their
realizations to the whole class.

16. Intercultural relations are relations between groups or
individuals from different cultures. These relations can
be characterized by the acknowledgment of different
world visions or by the ignorance of them.
Recognizing other ways of understanding the world
and life, as well as the capacity to develop a
decentered attitude (to put oneself in someone else’s
shoes) might be helpful in order to develop positive
intercultural relations.
