Recognizing differences: Changing Expectations Multicultural and Ethics

The important concepts in this paper include a move away from conformity and an embrace of critical thinking when interacting with diverse populations.  Social attributive effects can impinge the reality of expectations.  Using interactive games, such as a Decision Game and Survival Mode (based on Targeted Selection theory), participants are able to infuse their own culture while also learning from another.  Thus, the strategy lowers expectations and creates an atmosphere that feels more cooperative.  Participants are free to observe another cultural approach rather than feel forced into it.
