Must fix this!

The report we read for Dr. Johannes Strobel, has shown the need to fix the communication problem among engineers from different cultures. It is obvious that this issue declines that amount or quality of work that gets done. It is very difficult, almost impossible, to get a project done if neither side feels comfortable working with the other. This was shown in the bank example with Mark and Max from America and Germany respectively. They were not comfortable because they did not understand the cultural ways of one another. Just the act of being aware of how another culture differs from your own can help you understand and make things more comfortable. This learning community does just that. We get the opportunities to interact with students in the same field from different cultural backgrounds early. This will be an advantage to us later when dealing with people in other countries. We will know how the other cultures differ and we will be able to either adjust accordingly or at least know what to expect.
