1. I agree with developing cultural competence helps us understand, communicate with, and effectively interact with people across cultures.2. Nowaday, we meet people in different culture so we should study and understand different cultures, exchanging culture may help to develop a cross-cultural competence.I agree with exchanging ideas between cultures would be a good thing to develop a cross-cultural competence. because in every day we have to meet a new people that from different culture, which is the way we learn new things and new cultures.
