Cultural diversity explains the amalgamation of different cultures. Cultural diversity has several pros and cons. Because of diverse cultures, it is easy to reach the global market and understand each other's tastes. Diversity in the workplace helps explore different people and understand various business techniques, which can help expand businesses (Adu-Oppong & Again- Birikorang, 2014). However, cultural differences can cause negativity and affect personal relationships. Cultural shocks and the inability to understand another person's culture often lead to bias. Bias can make a person blind and unwilling to understand the culture. Cultural bias can further lead to cultural anxiety and make a person insecure.
