Singapore
The way of life of Singapore is ordinarily known as where East meets West. It is affected vigorously by the distinctive traditions every ethnicity delivers and is acknowledged and celebrated.
Besides, individuals in Singapore are generally observed as dedicated, vocation driven people. On occasion, this outcomes in the general population being apparently icy and unpleasant, unwilling to make a special effort with a specific end goal to help another person in require. The fundamental religions dominating in Singapore, arranged by rate, are Buddhism, Christianity, Islam and Hinduism.











Lebanon: 
is generally known as the centre point of the Middle-East, its rich decent variety of varying backgrounds furnishes the nation with its interesting feeling of personality. Lebanese are for the most part observed as a glad people, endeavouring to demonstrate that they are the best at whatever they do. Lebanon has endured as far as defilement and framework. The general population are very opinionated and more often than not have solid religious perspectives. Be that as it may, this does not detract from their general benevolence and friendliness. Regularly warm, open and great at collaborating with other individuals. The principle religions prevalent in Lebanon, arranged by rate, are Islam, Christianity and Druze.





 Intercultural communication  can be improved by Being Genuinely Inquisitive

  • All through the communication procedure, you need to be curious and make inquiries about the person's way of life; in any case, you should dependably stay genuine. You will likely make a genuine association with another person and if your conduct is constrained, that association will be lost. One approach to demonstrate that you are being genuine is to figure out how to ace nonverbal correspondence methods, for example, act, motions, outward appearances and manner of speaking. Keeping up great eye to eye connection tells the other individual that you are occupied with the discussion. If you are caught up glancing around or messaging on your telephone that isn't a successful method to construct your relational abilities. It is additionally vital to know about your manner of speaking.
Also by Sympathising with others 


  • This angle includes an individual putting him or herself into the situation of individuals from different societies and attempting to think and impart in their direction. Understanding individuals from their-point of view is the most straightforward manner by which an individual can figure out how such a culture imparts. With the learning of the person's way of life at the top of the priority list, the individual now makes a correlation between the two societies and effortlessly distinguishes what are the fundamental viewpoints that reason the distinctions in correspondence and how they are overcome. It is simply after one is put into someone else's shoes that they feel where it squeezes and fits.



One of the benefits offered by Intercultural communication is the capacity to bargain societies, which is progressively essential, as the world gets smaller. Getting smaller doesn't mean the world is getting to be indistinguishable, it implies having increasingly contact with individuals who are socially unique. Having the capacity to manage this social contrast calmly, never minding about it inventively and imaginatively, is turning into a survival issue to flourish in a worldwide world as a global pioneer.






Negative Stereotypes and Prejudices might impede intercultural communication.
Generalisations and prejudice about individuals from different societies can cause communication issues and give offence. Ethnocentrism, or a conviction that your own way of life is superior to anything that of others, can prompt acting predominant toward different gatherings and not treating them well. For instance, an educator in a Lebanese school may believe that students from a specific culture need solid Arabic aptitudes or are incapable of good work. This bias can lead the educator to treat the students unjustifiably.

Comparing Lebanon and Italy      Lebanon is the country where I have lived my whole life. It is located at the crossroads between the Arab world and the Mediterranean Basin, and as such it shares many similarities with other Mediterranean countries, like Spain, Greece and Italy . This is due to a common History those countries share, and consequently close cultures.      To start off, it would be interesting to give some basic information: according to recent statistics, Lebanon is 30 times smaller than Italy, and its population is currently 10 times less.

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.
