How can I enhance my sensitivity and awareness of different cultural and social backgrounds?
user
By actively seeking out and exploring different cultures, experiences and perspectives. Reading up on different cultures, attending events hosted by organizations which focus on cultural awareness, trying out cuisines from various cultures, immersing yourself in art and music from all around the world - these are all things you can do to build your understanding of different cultural backgrounds. Being open-minded and maintaining a respectful mindset is key; reach out to individuals who have a different background than you do if possible and take the time to listen thoughtfully. Engaging with people from diverse backgrounds increases perspective-taking skills so be sure to take that opportunity when it arises. Additionally , try as much as possibleto use language which accounts for difference--language which acknowledges our shared humanity--and avoid words with undertones of judgment or dismissiveness.
