In most discussions of cultural diversity, attention has focused on visible, explicit aspects of culture, such as language, dress, food, religion, music, and social rituals Although they are
important, these visible expressions of culture, which are taught deliberately and learned consciously, are only the tip of the iceberg of culture Much of culture is taught and learned
implicitly, or outside awareness Thus, neither cultural insiders nor cultural outsiders are aware that certain “invisible” aspects of their culture exist
Invisible elements of culture are important to us For example, how long we can be late before being impolite, what topics we should avoid in a conversation, how we show interest
or attention through listening behaviour, what we consider beautiful or ugly- these are all aspects of culture that we learn and use without being aware of it When we meet other
people whose invisible cultural assumptions differ from those we have learned implicitly, we
usually do not recognize their behaviour as cultural in origin
Differences in invisible culture can cause problems in cross-cultural relations Conflicts may arise when we are unable to recognize others’ behavioural differences as cultural rather than personal We tend to misinterpret other people’s behaviour, blame them, or judge their intentions or competence without realizing that we are experiencing cultural rather than individual differences
Formal organizations and institutions, such as schools, hospitals, workplaces, governments, and the legal system are collection sites for invisible cultural differences If the differences were more visible, we might have less misunderstanding For example, if we met a man in a courthouse who was wearing exotic clothes, speaking a language other than ours, and carrying food that looked strange, we would not assume that we understood his thoughts and feelings or that he understood ours Yet when such a man is dressed similarly to us, speaks
Trang 5our language, and does not differ from us in other obvious ways, we may fail to recognize the invisible cultural differences between us As a result, mutual misunderstanding may arise

B To describe cultural diversity
C To explain the importance of invisible aspects of culture
D To explain why cross-cultural conflict occurs
25 The word “deliberately” in bold in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _
A slowly B accurately C intentionally D randomly

A most aspects of culture cannot be seen
B we usually focus on the highest forms of culture
C other cultures seem cold to us
D visible aspects of culture are learned in formal institutions
27 Which of the following was NOT mentioned as an example of invisible culture?
A How people express interest in what others are saying
B How late is considered impolite
C What topics to avoid in conversation
D What food to eat in a courthouse
28 The word “those” in paragraph 2 refers to
A invisible cultural assumptions B people from a different culture
C topics that should be avoided in conversation D people who speak a different language 29
