Culture Conflict
"International communication"is communication between members of different cultures.This definition is simple.But the process is (01)complex.Intercultural communication involves differing (02)perception,attitudes,and (03)interpretations.We know that even two people from the same culture can have communication problems.People can (04)unintentionally hurt each other by something they say or do.Isn’t it logical,then,that communication problems can be (05)compounded among people who do not have the benefit of shared experiences(i.e. language and culture)?
Culture do not communicate;individuals do.Everyone has a (06)unique style of communication,but culture determine a general style for their members.The relationship of the individual to his culture is (07)analogous to an actor and his director.We are not always aware of the subtle influences of our cultures.
Problems and (08)misinterpretations do not result every time members from two cultures communicate.However,whn cultural conflicts do arise,they may be perceived as personal rather than cultural.Some misunderstandings are (09)insignficant and can be easily ignored or (10)remedied.Other conflicts are more serious in that they can cause misunderstandings and create (11)persistent negative attitudes toward foreigners.
