    The world would be so tedious; the diversity will be less, in the sense that there will be few movements of people around the globe. The world will be more peaceful because there will be less war causality, because norms and values will be more respected; the ethnicity value in each region will be of utmost important.

    which will limit there will leess movement .

    Could you imagine the world just speaking one language? I have no clue what it would be, but do you like the idea or not? I think it would be helpful in some ways. It would save us all the time that we spend on studying languages and end some controversy. But I can also see some downsides. This would be a nearly impossible feat to achieve and would also get rid of the values the language had on the people. But, I still believe it is a good idea. There are many other things that make people diverse. Although it would be hard to do, I think we should have only one language.

    Key Characteristics of a Leader:

    The characteristics of diversity-conscious leaders

    Honesty - Display sincerity, integrity, and candor in all your actions. Deceptive behavior will not inspire trust. Competent - Your actions should be based on reason and moral principles. Do not make decisions based on childlike emotional desires or feelings. Forward-looking Set goals and have a vision of the future. The vision must be owned throughout the organization. Effective leaders envision what they want and how to get it. They habitually pick priorities stemming from their basic values. Inspiring - Display confidence in all that you do. By showing endurance in mental, physical, and spiritual stamina, you will inspire others to reach for new heights. Take charge when necessary. Intelligent - Read, study, and seek challenging assignments. Fair-minded - Show fair treatment to all people. Prejudice is the enemy of justice. Display empathy by being sensitive to the feelings, values, interests, and well-being of others. Broad-minded - Seek out diversity. Courageous - Have the perseverance to accomplish a goal, regardless of the seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Display a confident calmness when under stress. Straightforward - Use sound judgment to make good decisions at the right time. Imaginative - Make timely and appropriate changes in your thinking, plans, and methods. Show creativity by thinking of new and better goals, ideas, and solutions to problems. Be innovative!

    NOTE: Diversity consciousness provides leaders with the skills to promote interpersonal openness and build relationships in a global, multicultural environment. Of these skills, three of the most important are adapting, thinking and communicating inclusively, and self-monitoring.

    The differences between individualistic and collectivistic societies when communicating globally, including virtual communication

    Individuals from different cultures vary in terms of their communication and group behaviors including the motivation to seek and disclose individuating information and in the need to engage in self categorization (Gudykunst, 1997). One major dimension of cultural variability is individualism-collectivism (Hofstede, 1980). In individualistic cultures, the needs, values, and goals of the individual take precedence over the needs, values, and goals of the in group. In collectivist cultures, the needs, values, and goals of the in group take precedence over the needs, values, and goals of the individual (Gudykunst, 1997; Hofstede, 1980). The research suggests that individuals from individualistic cultures tend to be less concerned with self-categorizing, are less influenced by group membership, have greater skills in entering and leaving new groups, and engage in more open and precise communication than individuals from collectivist cultures (Hall, 1976; Hofstede, 1980, 1991). In addition, the willingness to respond to ambiguous messages, interpreted by Pearce (1974) to be a trusting behavior, has been shown to be higher among members of individualistic cultures than among members of collectivist cultures (Gudykunst et al., 1996). These findings suggest that individuals from individualistic cultures might be more ready to trust others than individuals from collectivist cultures in computermediated communication environments.
