Add an additional dimension of "wealth" to the list of intercultural topics. Class difference amongst poverty, middle class, and wealthy individuals and groups need to be understood.

I learned the importance of respecting different cultures . Not always see certain behaviours as disrespectful but accept and learn their meanings is the key
