They help to quickly understand other cultures
They are offensive only if the intention is negative
They are a useful tool for formal communication
QUESTION 3: Why is the "positive" stereotype that a person of Asian origin is good at math considered degrading?
Why math is not important in the workplace

That the speaker has read many books
That the message is objectively correct
An intelligence and creativity that captivates listeners
That the use of data has been completely avoided
QUESTION 7: What creative exercise is suggested in the text to develop a more original speech?
Memorize a list of synonyms for common words
Use only phrases that the audience already knows
Translate popular expressions from other languages
Take a well-known cliché and reinvent it with your own alternative
QUESTION 8: Instead of "better late than never," what kind of more personal alternative does the text suggest?
A shorter, more direct phrase like "Thanks for doing it"
A similar saying like "it's never too late if the happiness is good"
