Answer:

The answer is: False

Step-by-step explanation:

Cultural misunderstanding happen when you say something, or make some gestures, or do some action that in your culture is totally normal and harmless, but for other cultures they might represent something really serious, offensive and bad.

For example, I went to visit a Korean friend and I knew that I had to take my shoes off when entering the house. The problem was that when I took my shoes off I left them besides the door where a another pair of shoes were. My friend's father was extremely offended when he noticed I had left my shoes with the women's shoes since it represents that I was dating the female owner of the shoes. I had the best possible intention and even tried to learn about his culture but I just couldn't learn every detail.
