I would like to focus my project on Intercultural competence and specifically to add a section about Cross-cultural competence through the military Cross-Cultural_Competence

I like where you're going - I'd suggest getting more specific in your topic. Consider a specific intercultural war, intercultural/diversity training of Doctors of Medicine, etc. Ajungle (talk) 17:35, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

New Additions to Intercultural Competence page
I would like to add a specific category of information to show the military side of Intercultural Competence. This will be done by the addition of the ideas and classes that the soldiers take during their training for ways to act with people of a different culture when they are deployed. Also, they teach them not just the ways to interact with them but what not to say. Plus, things that they teach them not to do in the all the cultures. They also have a special team that are from or very well informed about the culture and region where the deployment is occurring that help the other soldiers get more accustomed to the cultures. Finally, they explain what are the major categories of training and how they train them. Saifalz (talk) 19:24, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

Expansion of Article
Cross-cultural competence is necessary for the success of military personal of many statures. This includes Comrades, "Sister Services", Allies, and Non-combatants that benefit from the training and benefit indirectly. Saifalz (talk) 02:52, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Comrades, who command their own unit, do not just have military personal that are "American", but they are made of many different cultures. The military has evolved over the years with cultural competence by requiring members to achieve a certain level of social competence or they will face certain consequences.
 * Sister Services, is the services of other branches of the military and how they act toward certain operations. This shows the difference between the branches with their cultural competence.
 * Allies are other countries that are friends of the country that would help us in the time of need or war. Without competence to the cultures, the US would not have any allies.
 * Non-combatants are the civilians, international organizations, non-govenmental organizations and non-military governmental actors such as diplomats. Civilians help by making a good impression on other cultures and they represent the US when they interact with people nationally and internationally.

Peer Review Edit for Article
Hi Saifalz 22:54, 28 April 2013 (UTC) I am in the 10:40 class, I really do think you have some real potential for this article because it is a very interesting topic. For future references I would add more to each section and explain it more and maybe even some stats. For each section you gave maybe state who does this affect or who does it not affect. What does the government and the people think about the things you stated. and how were they established. Again good job on what you have and a very interesting article.

Hi Saifalz

I think your topic is great and you have a really great direction going. I really like your idea of making sure the soldiers knowing more about the culture of the country they are going into. I would just go more in depth about if this is beneficial to the soldiers/ if there is anything being done to start this. Great job! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cleann (talk • contribs) 16:33, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi Saifalz Your topic seems interesting and seems like you have it going in the right direction as of now keep up the good work and finish it strong. I also believe that soldiers should know more about the culture they are going into rather than what they know now. Great Job!!
