Josh has created very strong general ideas about how people from other cultures behave and communicate.Why Josh should avoid always applying these ideas when he meets someone from another culture?

-Josh should avoid developing inaccurate,inflexible stereotypes of others and basing his perceptions of others only on those generalizations.
-Making snap judgments based only on past associations may lead him to inaccurate conclusions.
-That's why it's so important for Josh to become other-oriented by being a good listener,learning all he can about the other person,and not just relying on generalizations.
