Presenting hypotheses about the difficulties in creating bonds and communication, the work highlights the importance of specific approaches and integration activities to overcome such barriers. Additionally, it explores cultural diversity and inclusion as ongoing processes that require effort and dedication. The research reveals the predominance of cultural, linguistic, and personal experience elements in forming bonds and communication.
