This book deals with the international and intercultural relationships. In other words, it is concerned with relationships across countries, continents, cultures, and languages. A key ingredient of relationship is trustworthiness. Therefore, it is important to understand how the ethics of trust is manifested and how it can be enhanced at various levels among individuals, organizations, and the countries of our one world. In this, trust connected to both human and technology interactions is of primary importance.
Given the interconnectedness or unity of humanity, it is proper to alleviate misunderstanding and dis-understanding among the peoples of the world. This book will expound on ramifications resulting from the dearth and therefore necessity for information and knowledge of the proverbial other¬¬—those who appear to differ. Information based on evidence can be said to lead to knowledge that can alleviate unnecessary biases and promote harmony, cooperation, alliance, and mutualism among people. Variations on how different people interpret phenomena based on how they see and experience the world underlies the assortments of fears, contentions, conflicts, and hostilities among nations. The ultimate user of this book will be researchers in the academic, business, and public administration.
