Hi Everyone!
Lastly, I've listened to a lot of people talking about intercultural environments, multicultural companies, etc. I was wondering if our cities, companies or environment was monocultural before? I feel talking about culture is now snob but I'm not sure if the people know what's meaning of culture.
According to Clifford Greetz culture is a group of people who share an idea and this idea is accepted to act in different circumstances.
So, before to listen to these words everywhere we lived in societies of groups: families, groups of workers, religions, groups ethnics, politicals, etc. with the same ideas about something, all of these formed our multicultural societies and between them was an intercultural relationship.
I feel good when the companies -for example- invite us to participate in their multicultural environments, with people from a lot of countries but I know our intercultural intelligence has been developed over time in our personal history.

Hi Everyone!Lately, I've listened to a lot of people talking about intercultural environments, multicultural companies, etc. I was wondering if our cities, companies or environment were monocultural before? I feel talking about culture is regarded as snobbish but I'm not sure if the people understand the meaning of culture.
According to Clifford Geertz, culture is a group of people who share an idea and this idea is accepted to act in different circumstances.*
So, before listening to these words everywhere** we lived in societies of groups: families, groups of workers, religions, ethnic groups, politicians, etc. with the same ideas about something***, all of these formed our multicultural societies and between them was an intercultural relationship.
I feel good when the companies -for example- invite us to participate in their multicultural environments, with people from a lot of countries but I know our intercultural intelligence has been developed over time in our personal history****.
*You might want to rethink this clause: Geertz defined culture as "a system of inherited conceptions expressed in symbolic forms by means of which men communicate, perpetuate, and develop their knowledge about and attitudes toward life." It would be helpful to the reader to expand on what you have written. Also, I'm not sure what you mean by 'this idea is accepted to act in different circumstances.'
** I'm not sure what words you're writing about here.
*** Something? To what thing are you referring?
**** What do you mean by 'in our personal history?'

Hi Everyone!Lately I've heard a lot of people talking about intercultural environments, multicultural companies, etc. I was wondering if our cities, companies or environment were monocultural before? I feel like a snob talking about culture, but I'm not sure if people know what that word means.
According to Clifford Greetz, a culture is a group of people who share an idea which is accepted as a ‘guide’ to actions in different circumstances.
So, before listening to these words everywhere we lived in societies of groups: families, groups of workers, religions, ethnic and political groups, etc. with the same ideas about something, all of these formed our multicultural societies and between them were intercultural relationships.
I feel good when companies -for example- invite us to participate in their multicultural environments with people from lots of countries, but I know our intercultural intelligence has been developed over time in our personal histories.
