Answer 2

Answer:

Using slang or words that are used within your own social group is an example of a cultural barrier

Explanation:

• Cultural Barriers – Ethnic, religious, and social differences can often create misunderstandings when trying to communicate.
• Slang isn't automatically a barrier to the conversation, but it certainly can be, in a couple of different ways.

Linguistic Exclusion

• The most obvious way is when rallying a "barrier to communication", by simply making what the speaker is saying incomprehensible to the listener. In this way, it's not necessarily different than any kind of jargon or code that's used to exclude, whether it's an academic who's using highly technical terms, a local speaker who's using a regional dialect, or simple "slang" that's only understood by a tightly-defined group of insiders.

Social Exclusion

• The other main way that slang can be an obstacle to communication is when it reinforces a social separation between the speaker and the listener. That dynamic can work both ways, by either making it clear that the listener is not welcome or by inforcing a prejudice on the listener's part that encourages them to dismiss the speaker. (Those two aspects aren't mutually exclusive, either -- they usually go together.)
• The flip side of all that, though, is that the use of slang can often be inclusive, by confirming that the speaker and listener are both parts of a shared social group. No matter what, though, it's important to recognize that -- whether or not the speaker thinks of it this way -- using slang is an intrinsically social decision, with clear implications about the relationship between themselves and their audience.
