Cross Culture - Dinesh and Gajan (Trilingual - Tamil,Sinhala,English song)
Another trilingual song from Srilanka :) Done by Dinesh (of Surangani / Athichudi fame) ft Gajan. The song that brought Dinesh to limelight I think :)
I really like this one due to many reasons - being trilingual, catchy tune, nice meaning and very very novel video style :) Which ofcourse prevented me from creating my own video for this :)

Cross Cultural Differences and Similarities
Now let’s turn our attention to differences and similarities in behavior across cultures. Culture is the set of shared values, often taken for granted, that help people in a group, organization, or society understand which actions are considered acceptable and which are deemed unacceptable.
Geert Hofstede, a Dutch researcher, studied workers and managers in 60 countries and found that specific attitudes and behaviors differed significantly because of the values and beliefs that characterized those countries.
The two primary dimensions that Hofstede found are the individualism/collectivism continuum and power distance. Individualism exists to the extent that people in a culture define themselves primarily as individuals rather than as part of one or more groups or organizations. Collecti...

Cross-cultural communication is a difficult concept because culture itself is complex. Whether you are talking about cross-cultural communication or intercultural communication you are also talking about diversity. This short video aims to explain a few concepts so you can quickly grasp the fundamentals of cross-cultural communication and get a better intercultural understanding.
Comprehending any culture is a difficult task, because traditions and customs differ from our own. In business, cross-cultural and other differences must be set aside for the sake of productivity. But first you have to recognise them!
To get a flavour for cross-cultural communication Dr Deborah Swallow mentions three of the most striking cultural differences that people face when working with international colleagues and people from diverse communities.
First, there is the perception of Time and how different cultures relate to it. For cross-cultural enthusiasts this is the most obvious.
Second, cultures may be either direct or indirect in the way they communicate. In intercultural communication this often causes the most problems and is one of the first insights one must appreciate when learning about cross-culture.
The third concept Dr Deborah Swallow introduces is the cross-cultural differences related to rules and how in a diverse world learning that strict adherence to the rules can be a matter of degree.
All these characteristics have implications in the workplace and the more we understand about cross-cultural differences the better able we are to work more productively with diversity.
We should never denigrate any other culture but rather help people to understand the relationship between their own culture and the dominant culture. When you understand another culture or language, you get to understand your own better. This is where cross-cultural and intercultural communication plays its part – in understanding diversity better.

Now let’s turn our attention to differences and similarities in behavior across cultures. Culture is the set of shared values, often taken for granted, that help people in a group, organization, or society understand which actions are considered acceptable and which are deemed unacceptable.
Geert Hofstede, a Dutch researcher, studied workers and managers in 60 countries and found that specific attitudes and behaviors differed significantly because of the values and beliefs that characterized those countries.
The two primary dimensions that Hofstede found are the individualism/collectivism continuum and power distance. Individualism exists to the extent that people in a culture define themselves primarily as individuals rather than as part of one or more groups or organizations. Collectivism, on the other hand, is characterized by tight social frameworks in which people tend to base their identities on the group or organization to which they belong.
Power distance, which might also be called orientation to authority, is the extent to which people accept as normal an unequal distribution of power. Uncertainty avoidance, which might also be called preference for stability, is the extent to which people feel threatened by unknown situations and prefer to be in clear and unambiguous situations.
Masculinity, which might be more accurately called assertiveness or materialism, is the extent to which the dominant values in a society emphasize aggressiveness and the acquisition of money and other possessions as opposed to concern for people, relationships among people, and overall quality of life.
The important issue to remember at this point is that people from diverse cultures value things differently from each other and that people need to take these differences into account as they work.
