In order to answer the questions correctly, it is important to start by defining intercultural competence and its characteristics. It is described as the ability to interact in an effectively in a way that is acceptable to other people, especially while working in a group consisting of members with diverse cultural orientations .Cultural in this case is used to represent all kind of features, which include but not limited to beliefs and morals that an individual grows up with, their nationality, their local customs, the region in which they come from, and particular approaches and practices that dictates how they work. Intercultural competence researchers have investigated this theory in various disciplines for example in management, education, communication etc. (Wang, chen, liu, barkley, & wu 2020). For any person to be culturally competent, they must show tolerance of ambiguity; to demonstrate ability to receive lack of clarity and handle it in a constructive manner.
