    Culture is defined as the set of commonly held values, beliefs, customs, and habits that are characteristic of a society. It includes things like knowledge, art, morals, and law. Culture lies mostly beneath the surface and determines our deepest assumptions, most of which we are not even aware of. When working across cultures, there are some common myths to avoid, such as thinking everyone is the same or that adopting other cultural practices is necessary to succeed. It is better to adapt rather than adopt other cultural practices. Working across cultures can involve both positive and negative experiences that must be recognized in order to effectively manage cultural differences.
