Hello everybody,

What do you think about the following? Do you agree?

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do". According to the author it does not fit many modern pluralistic societies. Because cross-cultural interactions have the potentioal to cause stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination against entire groups of people, research in CCP has the potential to ameliorate these consequenses."

Personaly I agree and disagree. I agree that we should make more researches about it and it will help, but I disagree that we can't act as they say above: When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Well, if we are at someone's house (Country) for example, I think we should follow their rules, learn with them and act like they do, and after that we could introduce our cultural aspects.
