If we want to compare the Lebanese and the Canadian cultures...
The canadian culture was influenced by other cultures such as the french and the british traditions. This is similar to the lebanese culture which was also affected by other countries such as Turkey and France. In addition, the canadian people are as hospital as the lebanese people, welcoming immigrants from all around the world. Also, family is life's greatest blessing for the lebanese people.. While the lebanese people think that you can be independent even when your family is next to you, the canadians are hooked on te idea of self-reliance: a teen that moves out of his parents' house is considered to be independent.


In Lebanon, there are many factors that prove that the lebanese people have good communication skills. For example, they are sometimes good listeners as they make you feel that your voice is being heard. Also, the are trustworthy as they work effectively for you and take responsibilities. In addition, they are confident as well as influential.

The competent people in intercultural communication in Lebanon are the open minded people who can accept the differences. He should be receptive to new ideas to be able to communicate with anyone of all culture, religion or skin colour .

Italians mostly speak Italian (97%), and a great majority of the population doesn't speak Englis

Similarities and differences between the Lebanese and Canadian

I have lived in Canada and Lebanon for numerous years and as such, I've noticed numerous similarities as well as differences between both cultures. For instance,  in Canada, teenage independence is much higher than in Lebanon. As a teenager of 16 years of age, you're relied upon to get a job and not depend on your parents, while in Lebanon, teenagers cannot get a job until they reach 18years of age and are expected to stay with their parents until they get married. In addition, Canada is a much more organised country with a much better organised system. Lebanon, on the other hand, somehow manages to stay afloat in corruption and chaos. Last but not least, the Canadian culture is much more open to acceptance of people of different cultures, nationality and religion. The Lebanese culture however, needs to take great strides to accept others of different religion and nationality as they takes these aspects of oneself way too personal. However, even with many differences, t
