How can Aikido be incorporated into intercultural relationships?

Aikido requires flexibility. Flexibility not simply in physical terms but more importantly, the ability to understand, perceive and respond to each moment, particularly in rapidly changing situations. In aikido, this rapidly changing, improvisational practice is known as Randori or "Jiyu waza". In this practice, there are no rehearsed katas, you do not know how the attacker will attack. Each attack demands a unique, spontaneous response - a solution emerges based upon your understanding of the principles of Aikido. This approach is identical in everyday cross cultural situations. Beyond learning principles and solutions, you must to be flexible in your application of these principles - solutions emerge.
