DiScOuRsE...

Dear person:
Relationships are one of the most important things in people’s life, because human living beings’ are naturally social beings. For that reason it’s important to learn how to get along with other people, and in this case the issue it’s related with getting along with people from other countries. However, it’s not so easy, especially because living abroad or knowing people form other places, implies other ideas, points of views, cultures, attitudes, etc; situations that can contrast with daily life.

On the other hand, Globalization usually is related only with political, economical, and technological topics, but it is a reality that people should analyze and consider, because affect all of us and our way of getting along with people different from us.

In that way, getting along with people can be one of the toughest challenges on this planet. People are unpredictable. Some people even bite. Some of us can easily handle the stress from dealing with many people, but others of us may find it a cumbersome challenge. So here are some advices on getting along with those people from other countries:

As a matter of fact, be friendly to all in all in your relationships with others. If you want to be well liked by most people, you simply have to be friendly with all. Engaging in a continual effort to be friendly towards all in whatever situation and at whatever time will eventually win you much respect, but it does take time. This is not to say you should fake your friendliness. Your sincerity should be coming from within your soul.

Other thing is to try your best and move on in all relationships. Sometimes, someone may still not like you. It may, in fact, have nothing to do with you at all. If it happens, try to search and to look for information about something you don’t know about the country or customs out there, in order to know what behaviours are not just accepted by others; or just answer what’s wrong. So, if you have given your best shot, do not dwell on it. Move on. If he does not want to be your friend or be supportive of you, let it be.

Also communicate assertively with other people. Generally, the assertive style type of behaviour is most favoured when dealing with people in your relationships. Furthermore, be permissive. Let others have their way sometimes. Of course, if you really believe in something, you should try to persuade them to your viewpoint. However, if it's a minor issue, just let others have their way. If they want to leave their container in the refrigerator and it is not really bothering you, you should just let them have their way. It is also good for your health to not rant about everything, but just to take it easy. Other people may even have a reason for doing what they did.
