  11. Online Resources are Available • http://www.plagiarismchecker.com/

  12. Cross-Cultural Challenges • The world is getting smaller and closer together because of globalization. • This means everyone is interacting more with people from different cultures and backgrounds. • This will be especially true in Asia as the ASEAN Community moves forward.

  13. One Activity • Friendship • Something that is important to everyone. • Something that we see differently and where there can be cross-cultural difficulties

  14. The culture of friendship • How does Thai culture view friendship? • How does US culture view friendship? • How do we learn how other ASEAN countries view friendship?

  15. Understanding Yourself • Core beliefs – things that, for you, are non-negotiable in your relationship with others. • For example: I feel strongly about people being who they are and not pretending to be something other than they are; authenticity. • Share with a partner. What are some human qualities that are most important to you?

  16. The culture of business • http://insightoutmagazine.com/july2012/international-focus • Read excepts from the article. • Where do you see potential cross-cultural conflict between Thailand and other ASEAN countries?

  17. The culture of tourism • See the handout on tourism and visitors to ASEAN countries. • What does that indicate to you?

  18. Thailand and Singapore • See the handout on one aspect of Singapore culture. • Discuss with a partner. How is this different and how it is the same or similar to Thailand?
