When working with people from other cultures, what steps can be taken to make sure messages remain ethical?

 Actively seek mutual ground. To allow the clearest possible exchange of information, both parties must be flexible and avoid insisting that an interaction take place strictly in terms of one culture or another. Send and receive messages without judgment. To allow information to flow freely, both parties must recognize that values vary from culture to culture, and they must trust each other. Send messages that are honest. To ensure that information is true, both parties must see things as they arenot as they would like them to be. Both parties must be fully aware of their personal and cultural biases. Show respect for cultural differences. To protect the basic human rights of both parties, each must understand and acknowledge the other's needs and preserve each other's dignity by communicating without deception.

Appreciate the effort, thank you!
