Following the "Golden Rule" is not an effective strategy for adapting to other cultures.

The "Golden Rule" states that you should treat others the way you want to be treated. However, this assumes that everyone has the same values, beliefs, and cultural norms as you do. In reality, different cultures have different expectations for behavior and communication, and adapting to those differences requires a more flexible and nuanced approach. Simply applying the "Golden Rule" without taking cultural context into account can lead to misunderstandings and miscommunications.
