Compared to earlier societal discourses of culture in which people were reticent to display their culture, today's reality of culture being shared and learned is far more positive.

Are we more interested in people with a diverse cultural background? Do we have a reputation for expressing our own culture? Are we inclined to accept each other's cultures? In this context, I'd like to share my thoughts on how culturally diverse we are, with an emphasis on expressing one's own culture or embracing the other cultures.
We are accustomed to being well-versed in our own cultures, we have welcomed the opportunity to embrace the cultures of others, to the point where we have exchanged our own lunch boxes at school with a variety of tastes of food, shared pictures of festivities and ceremonies, and commented on everything from birthday colour dresses to ethnic wear and graduation outfit. The voyage reminds me of how we were taught to follow one's own way, how times made us feel like yes, this is reality, and how our assumptions changed as we progressed through greater levels of education. People, on the other hand, believe that following culture is more important than accepting practicality.
As the days pass, we are confronted with a variety of difficulties emerging from different cultural backdrops; we investigate ways to fit in, it influences our dressing patterns, and impact our ideas and actions. Can we, however, reach a conclusion by blaming one another's culture? Narrow mindedness, people's attitudinal dimensions, and ethnic background, supply us with scenarios of conflict and individual variances. However, when compared to earlier societal discussions of culture in which people were reticent to display their culture, today's reality of culture being shared and learned is far more positive.
I would bring up an important issue regarding our diverse culture and how it pertains to leadership. This section is critical in guiding, rising youth leaders in an organised manner. People must learn to accept different viewpoints in a variety of situations. In this context of leadership, we come across various thoughts and opinions; and we are called upon to act. The way leaders engage with one another and their team members is referred to as leadership culture. It's how leaders communicate, act, and make decisions. It's also about their daily work environment, including their activities, interactions, attitudes, and values. Thus, Leadership culture is more important in building an organizational culture.
What matters most is that we get involved, look presentable, participate in cultural activities through reading and researching, and share our resources with one another. These have been a crucial prelude in stepping forward to my leadership qualities in my dealt situations/experiences.
