However, we confront a reality: true cultural competence is unattainable. Our world is a blend of varied cultures, each influenced by distinct histories and values. The complexities of this diversity make achieving complete mastery implausible, especially in an ever-evolving world. Nevertheless, we can strive to learn and understand to the best of our abilities.
