Answer:

1. In order to avoid misunderstandings so as not to cause a clash of intercultural perceptions among people of different cultures, we are required to objectively recognize the differences and uniqueness of one's own culture and that of others by studying various cultural characteristics.

including:

·         communication and culture

·         appearance and clothing

·         food and eating habits

·         time and time awareness

·         appreciation and recognition

·         values, and norms

·         sense of self and space

·         process mental and learning

·         beliefs and attitudes

2. Local culture is different from foreign culture. We can see it from various aspects such as food and eating habits, clothes and appearance, and how to communicate. For local culture, their staple food is rice, while foreign culture their staple food is bread and meat. If the clothes and appearance of local culture tend to wear closed clothes, while foreign culture their clothes are more open. And if the local culture is communicating, for example talking to an older person, then the local culture will use language that is more polite and respectful to the elder, while foreign culture is the opposite of local culture. and in my opinion, foreign culture and local culture do not need to be integrated because each of these cultures has its own uniqueness, so it does not need to be integrated.
