Stages of Intercultural Sensitivity [www.awesomelibrary.org/multiculturaltoolkit-stages.html]

1) Denial: Does not recognize cultural differences.

2) Defense: Recognizes some differences, but sees them as negative.

3) Minimization: Unaware of projection of own cultural values; sees own values as superior

4) Acceptance: Shifts perspectives to understand that the same "ordinary" behavior can have different meanings in different cultures.

5) Adaptation: Can evaluate other’s behavior from their frame of reference and can adapt behavior to fit the norms of a different culture.

6) Integration: Can shift frame of reference and also deal with resulting identity issues.

7. That the key differences in culture are lifestyle, language, foods, and similar visible evidence of diversity, often taught in "diversity appreciation" classes in public schools. Not true.

The key differences, the "trust and respect breakers," are not generally the obvious differences. It is often the invisible differences in expectations, values, goals, and communication styles that cause cultural differences to be misinterpreted as personal violations of trust or respect. To assist in unraveling these key differences, we developed the Normative Communication Styles and Values chart, http://www.awesomelibrary.org/multiculturaltoolkit-styleschart.html:
