Question

What are the problems across the cultural communication?

Answer 1

Direct versus indirect communication.

Trouble with accents and fluency.

Different attitudes toward hierarchy and authority.

Conflicting norms for decision making.

Answer 2

there are 3 major issues :

1. Ambiguity - Cultures provide people with ways of thinking--ways of seeing, hearing, and interpreting the world. Thus the same words can mean different things to people from different cultures, even when they talk the "same" language.

2. Inflexible attitude :   Some people when they enter a different cultural context then to avoid exposure or experience of the host culture. This results in introvert behavior and closed mindset, leading to an impression that the visitor is not accepting the host culture.

3. Ethnocentrism :  Ethnocentrism is the assumption that the culture of one’s own group is right, moral and rational, and that other cultures are inferior. Since ethnocentrism is often an unconscious behavior, it is understandably difficult to prevent in advance.
