Differences in values and culture

Individuals have their own set of values. People value what is of worth and import to them. Values also influence the process of communication because people's values differ. These values are based on moral or religious systems found in all cultures and societies. A person is not born with it, values are acquired through the process of socialization and interaction with others for instance parents, teachers, siblings, peer group, and media figures.
Values determine what we think is right or wrong, important or not, beautiful or ugly and so forth.
The daily roles we play as humans also influence our values. In any one day, we can be a mother, student, a sister, nurse, citizen, consultant, artist, daughter, and teacher.
All of these above uniqueness that acts as a filter to communication and can lead to misunderstanding and misinterpretation.
It is important therefore, to be aware and sensitive to other value systems when communicating with them and never imposing your own value system on others.
Be honest and mindful and admit your ignorance/stupidity.
Be unconditionally accepting and do not try to change or control others.
Be peaceful, ethical, and engage in behavior that is morally right.
Be understanding and recognize how culture influences the way we think and behave.
