the film did not really teach me any general knowledge or rules with working among people of different cultures. It did however point out some specific things about a specific culture. I have found the best way to work with people from other cultures is to be professional.

I thought the film was actually pretty informative. I never really took the time to think about how other cultures look a the world.

What was said and depicted in the documentry I already know. In my opion I agree with everything that was said. Every culture has their beliefs, and should be respected. That's what makes the world go around and makes it interesting. I enjoy other cultures and understanding their way of life. That is what makes this country so beautiful, diversitivity.

I didn't learn too much. I already know people are different on how he or she see and interacts with others. To communicate effectively
with people of different background one must listen, have understanding, and patience.

The video taught me that different cultures have different ways of speaking. I now know that each culture has their own rules to speaking to each other. Diversity is everywhere and we must accept the cultures and respect their way of communicating and living. Some people may not understand you the same way you may not understand them. It is necessary to open up and realize that we are all different.

I have to agree with a lot of the information that the film provided. A lot of the information that the film I basically already knew but there was some things that i was aware of but not fully informed the way the film informed us.

This video was very interesting it showed us how diferent cultures communicate and how certain words or terms have different meanings in each culture. Also how some words or hand gestures can be positive in some cultures and negetive in others.

Open-ended
1- Is the technical problem intermittent?
2- Does the data reach the printer or does it drop before?
3- Are you able to view the documentation from you computer before you send to the printer?

Closed-ended
1- This problem could be due to clogged ink jets.
2- Sometimes when it rains the paper will not go into through the printer, check the paper.
3- There may be a defected printer that may need a service call.

Mr. Jones at this time we do not have the item in stock but I will check other stores locally to see if they have it in stock, give me just a few minutes if you don’t mind or I can call you back once I find out the status. Alright since you would rather hold I will be right with you. Thank you for your patience.
Mr. Jones I did locate the computer that you wanted and it is at another location. What I could do for you is have the store ship it to us and that will take 1-2 business days or I could have them send it directly to your home. What ever is convent for you?

Although the film was rather dull, there is some good information in there. While it is very important for us to be aware of differences in the people around us and to be considerate of beliefs, mannerisms, and cultural customs, I think these are things that anyone with common sense should know. Mostly the film was boring, but I suppose it would probably be useful to someone if they had spent their life without any human interaction.

I did not learn anything, I was already knew that no one is going to be the same. Every culture has their different belifs and style of doing things.
