1. What is done to understand foreign cultures to avoid cultural conflicts is to understand each other's cultures, mutual tolerance for differences. Do not underestimate and insult customs, habits, and art products. Does not highlight your own ethnicity and culture. Be positive about differences.
2. Local culture is the original culture of a certain community group which characterizes the area. Meanwhile, foreign culture is culture that comes from outside the area which is accepted and lived by a community who lives in its own area.
3. Stereotypes are shortcuts to thinking by humans to simplify complex things and help make decisions quickly. However, sometimes stereotypes are in the form of positive and negative prejudices, and sometimes they are used as an excuse to commit discriminatory acts. Some people consider all forms of stereotypes to be negative. For example : Batak people are famous for their loud voice volume and high tone of voice so that there is a stereotype that their character too, loud and rough. Prejudice means making your own decisions or facts before you know the relevant facts about the object. Originally the term referred to a judgment based on a person's race before having clear information on which to base that judgment. Furthermore, prejudice is also applied to other fields besides race. So the bottom line becomes an unreasonable attitude that is not influenced by rational reasons. For example: Malays are Easy to Use and Awareness of Newcomers The Malays are known as an ethnic group that is open, kind, and embracing to all migrants. The openness of the Malays is seen in welcoming newcomers who want to find life in Pekanbaru. In various stories told by participants, the kindness of the Malays in welcoming newcomers is shown in the form of giving a residence permit or opening a business on the land they own. "If a Malay person wants to be called good, then the good is really good. As if guests come not only to the terrace, they are also welcome to the family room, to the room, to the kitchen ”(Hermanto, September 2017).
