Convergence
The diminishing resources among the communities are the reason for
members leaving their communities in search of better lives elsewhere. The
members left their communities and converge in big cities and towns where there
are resources and work. They come with different inculcated cultures in the work
environment. The belief system in one culture may be a disbelief system to the
other. When unmanaged, the clash of cultures may spell the end of an
organization.
The biggest challenge in the work place is to train and educate
employees to tolerate other cultures. It is not always easy to get a tolerance,
since each and every member believes that his or her culture is important.
Moreover some of the elements of other cultures fall within a description of
bad cultures. When these members consult with communication leaders about new
teachings they are receiving regarding culture tolerance, they likely to get
opposite answers....... (cont.)
