Conclusion

A myriad of cultures are disparate and unique and by understanding the cultural genesis of our own and other's behaviours, and by remaining open to the idea that other people’s cultures guide them in the same way that ours guides us, we as humans will have a better chance of interacting positively with, and appropriately serving, people of varying cultural backgrounds. It allows us to analyze one’s own beliefs and be educated about the varying viewpoints. Such understandings are particularly important because cultural perspectives and beliefs profoundly affect us all.
