Answer : Namely by understanding Communication, understanding and Embracing Differences.Active Listening,Improve the way of speaking,Confrontation said.Calm in Facing Conflict.In practice, there are frequent misunderstandings between cultures. The things that influence the occurrence of these misunderstandings are usually due to differences in language, stereotypes in society, prejudices against a culture, racism, ethnocentrism, social anxiety and a lack of sense of Cultural Self-Awareness, examoles of misunderstandings that occur are for example due to different perceptions of something because every culture has different views in the assessment of an object or event. Hindus consider animals to be sacred, while non-Hindus consider animals to be ordinary animals. These different perspectives on cows can create misunderstandings and spur conflict. Non-Hindus who say something about cows can answer the question what they consider sacred when there is no self-cultural awareness in them. This can be a misunderstanding that leads to hostility.

Answer : local culture: the ancestral culture of the country itsel, foreign culture: culture that develops due to the process of globalization which results in foreign cultures entering Indonesia. In my opinion Globalization occurs in all life. Therefore, a culture will more easily influence local culture. However, it should be noted, that not all cultures have a bad influence on local culture. The existence of culture can enrich local culture. 

3. What is stereotype and prejudice? Does it exist in your local culture? Give examples! (30 points

Answer : In social psychology, a stereotype is an over-generalized belief about a particular category of people. It is an expectation that people might have about every person of a particular group. For example Stereotypes say that in doing business, ethnic Chinese often cheat and like to bribe the authorities to get economic concessions so that it makes them quickly successful, in fact not all ethnic Chinese are like that. And Prejudice means making decisions before a disaster of relevant facts about the object,For example  when a child always gets exposure to bad comments about a tribe, he may then share a bad prejudice against that tribe later.
