Expert Solution
Step 1

Cultural competency:  

Cultural competence, also known as intercultural competence, is a set of cognitive, affective, and behavioural qualities that enable people from different cultures to communicate effectively and appropriately. Intercultural or cross-cultural education are phrases used to describe cultural competence training. 

People who are efficient and suitable in international contexts have a high level of cultural self-awareness and are aware of how culture influences their behaviour, attitudes, and beliefs. Cognitive processes entail an understanding of situational and contextual components of intercultural encounters, as well as the application of intercultural awareness, which is influenced by one's own culture and self-awareness. In intercultural relationships, self-awareness necessitates self-monitoring in order to censor anything that is offensive to another culture. Individuals with cultural sensitivity or awareness get an insight of how their own culture influences their feelings, thoughts, and personality.
