Cultural sensitivity is the awareness and respect for the beliefs, values, and practices of people from cultures different from one's own, paired with a conscious effort to avoid offense or misunderstanding. It is a key interpersonal skill in fields like healthcare, customer service, and international business. People develop it through exposure, listening, and willingness to adjust their assumptions.
