Talk:Cultural competence

message: 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?

thread_title: ''Education in the United States''

message: "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)
thread_title: Time

message: Hi, these examples have been basically collected from different sources and published in my "Handbook Intercultural Competence" (; 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)
thread_title:  Re: Typical examples of cultural differences 

message: 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.

thread_title:  Dispute of factual accuracy

thread_title:  Suggestion regarding large image 

message: This section seems to be taken from the doctoral dissertation of Scott E. Womack.  It had a list of references enclosed in a single <ref> 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)
thread_title:  ''Cross-cultural Competence'' 

message: 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)
thread_title:  Lengthy list of cultural differences 

message: 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

thread_title:  Bibliography 

message: 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)
replies: text: 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)
replies: text: 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)
