Introduction

Inter-cultural sensitivity, according to the article of the Red Shoe

Movement (2017) is being aware that cultural differences and similarities

between people exist without assigning them a value – positive or

negative, better or worse, right or wrong. Open-mindedness or being

receptive is very applicable recently. Particularly, for students who studies

humanities and social sciences. Students should clearly understand and

comfortably adapt different cultures or cultural backgrounds.
