CULTURAL IDENTITY
- Culture can be as values, attitudes, and ways of doing
things that a person brings with him from the particular
place where he was brought up as a child.
- Values and attitude have an impact on communication
across culture because each person’s norms can be
different from other people.
RACIAL IDENTITY
- It refers to how one’s
membership to a particular
race affects how one interacts
with co-workers of different
races.

how two co-workers from different
cultures interact with one another.

between members of different
culture is affected by how different

women.
