Education in the United States
This section (numbered 5 at the time of this comment) contains the sentence "The achievement gap between cultural minority and majority students suggests a communication disconnect often occurs in minority classrooms because cultural mismatch between teachers and students is common and should not prevent positive, productive for both parties, provided the educator is a culturally competent communicator", which seems incomplete to me no matter how I read it. In "... should not prevent positive (positive what?), productive for both parties...", is there not a missing noun? Nlaylah (talk) 20:02, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

Time
"In Mediterranean European countries, Latin America, and Sub-Saharan Africa, it is normal, or at least widely tolerated, to arrive half an hour late for a dinner invitation, whereas in Germany and in the United States this would be considered very rude. [citation needed]"

In Africa it is customary to arrive late for everything. The whole concept of "African Time". Maybe this needs to be in a separate article.

 * This reads more like an article on prejudice than anything else. The examples of cultural differences are laughably inaccurate.  I'm not sure that they can be salvaged and propose their deletion. Sprotch 17:54, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Re: Typical examples of cultural differences
Hi, these examples have been basically collected from different sources and published in my "Handbook Intercultural Competence" (ISBN 3-280-02691-1; in german language - see detailed sources there) and are mentioned at the homepage of my institute (www.cicb.net). As on this Wiki-page these examples have been partially updated and amended by several users, not all of these examples might be correct anymore. However they could be interesting as an information, but without absolute guarantee - first as behaviors change with the time, but also as updates in the Wiki are very quick and not always 100% referenced. So, to be on the safe side, these examples might be deleted, but I think when marked as guidelines and as used in many parts of the regions mentioned (i. e. in the majority but never 100%), they could be left. --Mike2000 23:29, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Dispute of factual accuracy
Hi, but your statement does not provide any factual refutation of the matters raised here. The article seems to be as you say an ad hoc collection of information referenced by another tertiary source "The Centre of Intercultural Competence", which itself offres little in the way of relevant scholastic credentials. The references to cultures given herein are extremely simplistic and highly debatable. The old inaccurate example of the Inuit given on the CIC site is an example of this sort of second-hand and fundamentally inaccurate information that has moved into populist folklore (urban myths?) and understanding of this complex area. The article needs to be cleaned up, balanced, and referenced but to specific statements and to other scholarly bodies of work on the subject matter. Perhaps it needs to be deleted. Consequently I have tagged the item accordingly.

Suggestion regarding large image
Large inline image should have its whitespace cropped. A middle-click on seemingly blank space to initiate drag-scrolling resulted in the opening of the image's link in a new tab. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.198.98.16 (talk) 13:30, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Cross-cultural Competence
This section seems to be taken from the doctoral dissertation of Scott E. Womack. It had a list of references enclosed in a single &lt;ref&gt; tag. I broke it into multiple tags and moved them in-line. When done, there was one tag remaining; I left it in place but commented it out. I also cleaned up the image. --Vrmlguy (talk) 12:42, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Lengthy list of cultural differences
Gee, don't you think it is rather outdated and, in the second case, just incorrect, to use the terms "Persian culture" and "ethnical"? Is the lengthy list of worldwide cultural differences and examples even necessary in this article? Just a thought. J. 68.227.56.16 (talk) 21:52, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Sardinia???
wow! i'm sardinian and from this article i have discovered that Showing the thumb held upwards is a rude sexual sign. so i think i have received a lot of rude sexual signs in my life bwuahahahahahah

i will erase that part, because it's totally false, though there is a reference, probably a century ago could be considered an insult, not now

Requested move 8 September 2020

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. 

The result of the move request was: moved, though I note that a page swap will be necessary since there was a copy/paste pagemove back in 2017 (parallel histories so no option for a technical merge). Primefac (talk) 17:49, 3 October 2020 (UTC) Primefac (talk) 17:49, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

Intercultural competence → Cultural competence – There's an awful lot of cross-over in the literature, but while Intercultural competence returns 963,000 Google hits, Cultural competence returns 2,890,000. This source says "Some scholars use the term intercultural competence, while others call it cross-cultural competence...", and most seem to use it interchangeably. It might be worthwhile merging the Cross-cultural competence article as well, but I haven't read up on that yet. There seems to be a plethora of related subjects, including Cultural competence in healthcare and Cultural competency training. (And I've been trying to clarify and clean up Cultural sensitivity. Are there any sociologists out there who would like to opine on this one? Laterthanyouthink (talk) 02:42, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
 * p.s. There are over 300 links to Cultural competence (redirect), and not many more to Intercultural competence, a large number of which come from user talk pages and suchlike. Also, see Talk:Cultural sensitivity for similar discussion about that page in April 2020. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 04:06, 8 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Support: Cultural competence and intercultural competence are, for-sure, synonyms. To link to Google search results to confirm your assertion, here they are for ...Search results for me are 3.3 million for "cultural competence" and 990,000 for "intercultural competence." Doing the same exact-phrase searches on JSTOR comes up with 3,595 results for "cultural competence" and only 667 for "intercultural competence." I see no reason to remain with the less-common synonym, when the imbalance in usage is so great. --Pinchme123 (talk) 15:08, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

Relevance of this article
This article is totally senseless and worthless. A lot of big words and complicated sentences that say nothing. Another hashing of critical race theory and racial inequality. 192.151.86.150 (talk) 19:33, 18 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Agree with points about article being "totally senseless and worthless... A lot of big words and complicated sentences that say nothing". It reads as if a collection of traffic what's has been assembled and messaged to introduce a semblence of grammar to a semantic desert, bereft of sense or meaning. Has someone been mocking Wikipedia?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.152.190.66 (talk) 03:22, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Disagree. The quality of writing could and should be drastically improved, but there appears to be a notable field of study on this topic and thus it is worthy encyclopedic content. ParticipantObserver (talk) 10:43, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
