  2. Describe how each culture’s cognitive memories and experiences may affect how they perceive this image.
  3. Explain why cultural perception is important to consider when working with international or global cultures.
  4. Discuss why it is important to consider cultural perception when interacting with different age cultures and different social groupings.
