A person's cultural background creates 'default settings' for behavior.
These settings are not personal flaws. They are learned ways of acting.
A person's culture teaches certain ways of acting. These are like 'default settings' in a computer. They are the automatic ways a person responds. These settings are not right or wrong. They are just different. Understanding these settings helps solve problems between people.
A manager from one culture believes problems should be discussed openly. A team member from another culture believes harmony is most important. The manager thinks the team member is avoiding the issue. The team member thinks the manager is being aggressive. Recognizing these are cultural 'default settings' helps both understand the other's actions.
