Answer 1

Letter d is correct. Thinking that relationship-building is a waste of time

Step-by-step explanation:

Cross-cultural ignorance is a term used to refer to people who are unable to learn about different cultures and to establish relationships with people from different cultures.

This issue is very worrying in today's society, primarily because the basis of every relationship between people must be grounded in mutual respect, and second because the world is increasingly globalized, which means that at some point in working relationships, probably anyone will have contact with people from other cultures.

Therefore it is necessary for the individual to adopt a respectful attitude towards different cultures and traditions, and to be open to learning and exchanging experiences with other people, so that there are no communication failures and that the relationship is enriching and brings new knowledge and also built on mutual respect.
