9.Cross-CulturalCommunicationChallenges

DefinitionofCulture

Weallcommunicatewithothersallthetime--inourhomes,inourworkplaces,inthegroupswebelongto,andinthecommunity.Nomatterhowwellwethinkweunderstandeachother,communicationishard.Justthink,forexample,howoftenwehearthingslike;"Hedoesn'tgetit,"or"Shedidn'treallyhearwhatImeanttosay.""Culture"isoftenattherootofcommunicationchallenges.Ourcultureinfluenceshowweapproachproblems,andhowweparticipateingroupsandincommunities.Whenweparticipateingroupsweareoftensurprisedathowdifferentlypeopleapproachtheirworktogether.

Cultureisacomplexconcept,withmanydifferentdefinitions.But,simplyput,"culture"referstoagrouporcommunitywithwhichwesharecommonexperiencesthatshapethewayweunderstandtheworld.Itincludesgroupsthatweareborninto,suchasgender,race,ornationalorigin.Italsoincludesgroupswejoinorbecomepartof.Forexample,wecanacquireanewculturebymovingtoanewregion,byachangeinoureconomicstatus,orbybecomingdisabled.Whenwethinkofculturethisbroadly,werealizeweallbelongtomanyculturesatonce.

Ourhistoriesareacriticalpieceofourcultures.Historicalexperiences--whetheroffiveyearsagooroftengenerationsback--shapewhoweare.Knowledgeofourhistorycanhelpusunderstandourselvesandoneanotherbetter.Exploringthewaysinwhichvariousgroupswithinoursocietyhaverelatedtoeachotheriskeytoopeningchannelsforcross-culturalcommunication.

?DifferentCommunicationStyles

Thewaypeoplecommunicatevarieswidelybetween,andevenwithin,cultures.Oneaspectofcommunicationstyle.islanguageusage.Acrosscultures,somewordsandphrasesareusedindifferentways.Forexample,evenincountriesthatsharetheEnglishlanguage,themeaningof"yes"variesfrom"maybe,I'llconsiderit"to"definitelyso,"withmanyshadesinbetween.

Anothermajoraspectofcommunicationstyle.isthedegreeofimportancegiventonon-verbalcommunication.Non-verbalcommunicationincludesnotonlyfacialexpressionsandgestures;italsoinvolvesseatingarrangements,personaldistance,andsenseoftime.Inaddition,differentnormsregardingtheappropriatedegreeofassertivenessincommunicatingcanaddtoculturalmisunderstandings.Forinstance,somewhiteAmericanstypicallyconsiderraisedvoicestobeasignthatafighthasbegun,whilesomeblack,JewishandItalianAmericansoftenfeelthatanincreaseinvolumeisasignofanexcitingconversationamongfriends.Thus,somewhiteAmericansmayreactwithgreateralarmofalouddiscussionthanwouldmembersofsomeAmericanethnicornon-whiteracialgroups.
