Globalization is never new. As a term, ‘globalization’ has been used as early as 1944, but today it is more rapid and pervasive. The direct outcome of it is that people are broadly exposed to diverse cultures. Since people from different cultural backgrounds are bounded closely in workplace or daily life, cultural conflicts are never avoidable. When misunderstandings occur, relationships suffer and working inefficiency is increased. The news from New York Times indicates the cross-cultural conflict gradually becomes a rising problem in transnational corporations and it becomes a top issue for human resources managers to deal with. In our video, we try to tackle with this ‘Grey’ area by demonstrating the cultural conflicts and exploring the solutions to minimize them. Cultural insensitivity is what we propose to be the reason for cultural conflicts .Wish our video can be instructive and profound for people to be a qualified earthman and a winner of globalization .

what the f**k? well this person certainly scores low on writing ability and concept articulation, but I wouldn;t use this to say nus doesn;t deserve 19th in the world. I won’t dispute we might have a wide “dynamic range” of student quality compared to other lesser-ranked universities. Then again, we also cannot measure that. Singling out this poor soul as an exemplar is harsh tho..
