Culture is the "lens" through which one views the world. It is central to what one sees, how one makes sense of what he/she sees and how one expresses him/herself. Cultural intelligence is the capability to grow personally through continuous learning and good understanding of the diverse cultural heritage, wisdom and values and to deal effectively with people from different cultural background and understandings. It is key to the success of today’s cross culture, cross border, cross organizational jobs. Cultural values predict multiple forms of cultural adaptation, including psychological well-being, general adjustment, work adjustment, and communication adjustment. In today's globalizing world, cultural Value is a necessary tool for every teacher who deals with diverse teams of students, parents, competitors, government and others.
