Culture provides different ways of thinking and perceiving the world. Cross-cultural communication examines how people from different cultures communicate within and across cultures. There are cognitive, behavioral, and emotional constraints that affect intercultural understanding due to differing worldviews, communication rules, and emotion regulation across cultures. Cultures also differ in their communication context, with low-context cultures valuing individualism and high-context cultures emphasizing collectivism. Indian and Japanese cultures each have unique linguistic, behavioral, and social norms that can lead to challenges in cross-cultural communication between the two groups.
