We should definitely treat everyone with respect and include them in our conversations no matter what culture or country they belong to. We should also always clarify and not make an assumption about the cultures we're unfamiliar with.

A. Firstly, great article out there!!! Loved reading it thoroughly. Advantages are plenty but my favourite is where we get to meet and greet so many people from different cultures, backgrounds and upbringing.

One advantage is that diversity allows different perspectives to be shared, which may lead to creative and innovative solutions and ideas. Also, with a diverse team it's more likely that members will have their own unique differences in skills which makes up for a stronger team. Another is that it allows 7Cups to reach more people: in different cultures, time zones, countries, etc. In turn, by talking to people from all over the world, we get exposure to diverse others. We learn about different cultures, practices, attitudes, and ways of life which gives us a better understanding of other backgrounds, and allows us to have a more diverse mindset and picture of the world around us.

It's good to be mindful of others: their backgrounds, cultures, time, etc. We have to remember that stereotypes are general and sometimes misleading/untrue statements about people, which we have to ignore when talking to others. We also have to be respectful of other people's obligations relating to their culture, time zone, and other beliefs/location based circumstances.
