Answer:

This question lacks options, options are:

A) self-awareness

B) peace

C) economic

D) technological.

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

The phenomenon of intercultural communication is the result of the contact of cultures (ethnic and national groups with their different languages). Self-awareness is the ability to recognize the own feelings, behaviors and characteristics. A person has greater cognitive intercultural competence when she/he has a high degree of self-awareness. Which implies knowledge, understanding and awareness of one's own cultural and communicative elements, and of other cultures, that promote effective communication. This effectiveness is based on the degree of understanding acceptable to the people in interaction.
