1.As we generally know, the actual purpose of intercultural communication is, among other things, to express social identity and trap differences between cultures through acquiring new information, learning something new that never existed in culture, and by obtaining entertainment or breaking away. Intercultural communication can also changing other people such as changing people for the better and changing bad habits in communication, often arise because of understanding between other people's cultural backgrounds. times arise because people are less aware.

2.I think local culture is very different from foreign culture. Local culture certainly has more moral values ​​that have long been embedded among local people. but it cannot be denied that with the development of the era, foreign culture entered and seemed to be removing the local culture. for this reason, local residents should be smarter in responding to this, namely by maintaining local culture. although it must be followed the flow of local culture must sort and not leave local culture

3 . A stereotype is a thought that someone has about specific types of individuals that may or may not accurately reflect reality. Stereotypes can also be thought of like caricatures, which are pictures that exaggerate certain features while oversimplifying others and end up distorting the essence of an individual. Many stereotypes are widely held but they are also overgeneralised images or ideas about a particular type of person. Any time we group individuals together and make a generalisation or judgment about them without knowing them, this is an example of a stereotype.

A prejudice is an opinion - usually an unfavourable one - that was formed before having any evidence and that is not based on reason or experience. While a stereotype is a thought about a person or group of people, a prejudice relates to feelings and attitudes about that person or group of people. Prejudices are often rooted in the idea that certain types of people are worth less or are less capable than others.
