Cultural Sensitivity

Awareness of and respect for cultural differences in values, beliefs, and everyday practices.

Being culturally sensitive involves curiosity and a willingness to question your own assumptions. It means asking what matters to a person rather than treating everyone from a culture as the same.

💡 Real-Life Example

A team respects a colleague's Ramadan fast and suggests a way to socialize that does not revolve around lunch.
