]]> Comment on Successful intercultural relations: how shall we all live together? by Sarai Velez https://globaldev.blog/successful-intercultural-relations-how-shall-we-all-live-together/#comment-14 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 11:47:00 +0000 http://wordpress.test/successful-intercultural-relations-how-shall-we-all-live-together/#comment-14 I agree with the hypotheses
I agree with the hypotheses mentioned, however I consider that the way to proceed depends on your situation. It is not the same if you work in a foreign country and coexist with natives on a daily basis than if you live in your country but work with foreigners or if you have an intercultural relationship (in foreign country or in your own country).
Being an expatriate living in an intercultural family in a foreign country, I consider that we have to face two situations: the first one is “The cultural shock” and its stages (Kalervo Oberg) and, at the same time, we face Cultural differences within your own family where it is important to know who you are (multiculturalism), know the culture of your partner (contact) and try to mix both cultures (integration). However, sometimes it is impossible to know if you still are in the cultural shock or you are trying to understand yourself or your partner or the culture of the country that adopted you. Kalervo Obeg mentioned this in his article: that if your basic needs are not fulfilled it will be impossible for you to overcome the cultural shock, so in this case it won’t be possible even to try to be in contact with any person or try to integrate both cultures. I am not saying the hypothesis are incorrect but, how can they be applied in this case?
And, what about the children whose parents come from different cultures? in that case would it be considered a new hypothesis? because they do not have totally defined what culture they belong to. Maybe would it focus more on the culture of the country where they live in? but will they feel really identified? or will they acquire the identity of the culture that works better for them?

Thanks a lot for your comment
Thanks a lot for your comment. I agree with you. My argument is that migration has both positive and negative impact on development. It is extremely important to consider both cost and benefits of migration to map out the gain from migration.
