Through insightful articles, the founders of Cultural Diversity Group explore the cultural lenses of the world, how Americans interact with those from other cultures, and how we can use our cultural differences to develop better relationships.Which culture is the best?
Which group has life figured out, and which is still evolving?
Which group has life figured out, and which is still evolving?
Who has it right, and why doesn't everyone else follow suit?
Without understanding and appreciating cultural differences, we might have preconceptions about the answers to these questions, when there really is no right answer.
Syed Zafar and Joyce Sauter explore such preconceptions in a series of articles on cultural awareness, diversity, and differences that shape our world and our interactions with others.
By taking a closer look at the varying cultures of the world, they open readers' eyes to the differences that make us unique and steps we can take to recognize, appreciate, and accept the cultures we come across.
In our globally connected world, it is more important than ever to expand our horizons and, as Syed says, learn how to treat others as they would like to be treated.
Each article focuses on a different aspect of culture to weave a seamless narrative of awareness, understanding, and appreciation.
Think Americans don't have a culture? Think again.
Think time is the same for everyone, everywhere? Not so.
Does the Golden Rule still apply when how you would like to be treated means different things to different people?
In addition to answering these questions, Syed and Joyce cover topics such as:
Hundreds of cultures have been shaped over the centuries, and to each one, their way of living is the only way they know.
When we view other cultures as wrong, backward, or unevolved, we fail to appreciate that they have a perspective of life we've never seen.
By examining and understanding cultural differences, we can not only enrich our cross-cultural relationships, we can also enhance our own lives.

In addition to answering these questions, Syed and Joyce cover topics such as:
- Developing cultural awareness in a country where culture is often synonymous with alien
- Communication styles across high-context and low-context cultures, and how direct versus indirect communication styles affect relationships
- Individualism in American culture and how it translates (or fails to) in other cultures
- The relationship with nature as it varies across cultures
- The concept of formality and how American informality is perceived globally
