✒️ How can we be respectful of different cultures on 7 Cups?
There are many ways to respect different cultures on 7 Cups. We should be respectful of one other's availability. If a team member has a festival or a celebration coming up, we should not assign them a task that will prevent them from celebrating. In addition, we should be considerate of their time zone and avoid scheduling meetings at inconvenient times.

Ans:- The more diverse a team is the chances of solving a problem gets higher. A team would be able to cater to a variety of people with different backgrounds. No one would feel alone but rather will feel more appreciated and accepted

Ans :- I would ask permission before touching a sensitive topic about their culture or religion.
@LOOPHOLE
Hi, Loop. It's wonderful act to be aware of sensitive topic and ask permission beforehand. We listener often go with the flow that sometimes could be risky when we rush to question one and another to keep the conversation.
