High Context and Low Context Cultures
High Context Culture:- Cultures
that rely heavily on non-verbal and
subtle situational cues in
communication.
Low Context Culture:- Cultures
that rely heavily on words to
convey meaning in communication.
Eye Contact
In some cultures, looking people in the eye is assumed to indicate
honesty and straightforwardness; in others it is seen as
challenging and rude.
 In USA, the cheapest, most
effective way to connect with people
is to look them into the eye.
 Most people in Arab culture
share a great deal of eye contact
and may regard too little as
disrespectful.
 In English culture, a certain
amount of eye contact is required,
but too much makes many people
uncomfortable.
 In South Asian and many
other cultures direct eye contact is
generally regarded as aggressive
and rude.

How can the same Gestures be treated differently in different

Blocks to Cultural Communication

view; "my way is the best."
2. Discrimination : Differential treatment of an individual due to
minority status; actual and perceived;
e.g., "we just aren't equipped to .Serve people like that."
3. Stereotyping : Generalizing about a person while ignoring
presence of individual difference;
e.g., "she's like that because she's Asian – all Asians are nonverbal."
4.Cultural Blindness: Differences are ignored and one proceeds as
though differences did not exist; e.g., "there's no need to worry about
a
person's culture
5.Cultural Imposition: Belief that everyone should conform to the
majority; e.g., "we know what's best for you, if you don't like it you can
go elsewhere."
6.Tone Difference : Formal tone change becomes embarrassing and off-
putting in some cultures.
