What aspects of communication are being affected by culture?
86983
Before when communication was limited to a  particular society, state, country, it was mainly to discuss needs that had to be met, I think now that we are more secular, we can openly discuss something beyond our needs, like our hopes and dreams and stuff.

Cultural diversity is important because it helps to explain why we are having such trouble in the World.  But it should not be forced upon us like groups that want everything to be totally equal.  One of the things that I have dealt with is people from other parts of the World with different cultures and accents.  I have found that it is easier to deal with people from other parts of the World than some of the people in the United States.  I have friends that come from various backgrounds and different social economical classes.

To me, culture is a way of life, food, dress, mannerisms, religious beliefs, holidays, etc for a group of people or particular nationality.  Heritage has more to do with ancestry and the origination of your family tree.

First you must understand that everyone and every organization believes in different types of politics and depending on there cultural background have different ways to look at everything differently than you. As our world becomes more and more based on information from "mass media" it is natural that our world will have more cultural clashes.

some cultures do not follow the same protocols as us.  Religion, law, cultural differences play a big part.\nNow if you are talking about people you work with etc. and they work with the public or in close proximity to the public then it is rude.

I'm a linguist, so I will give you the definition that linguists use.  By definition, two forms of communication are dialects of the same language if they are mutually intelligible.  That means, if two people who are speaking different forms can understand each other, they are speaking two dialects of the same language.  Likewise, if two people cannot understand each other, they are speaking different languages.\n\nIt turns out in practice that this definition is affected by sociopolitical factors.  For example, the different forms of communication used in China are often called "dialects" of Chinese, even though they are not mutually intelligible, for political reasons.  The Chinese government wants to make it seem like their people are more linguistically unified.  On the other hand, speakers of Norwegian and Danish can understand each other very easily, but they call their dialects by different names because they want to point out that they live in different countries.\n\nAlso, the mutual intelligibility definition is not completely easy to work out, because there are varying degrees of mutual intelligibility between certain dialects of languages.  For example, I am a speaker of American English, and I therefore have the same native language as speakers of Irish English.  However, I haven't been exposed to much Irish English, so sometimes I find it difficult to understand.  I find British English easier to understand because I've been exposed to it on television, for example.\n\nNevertheless, mutual intelligibility is the factor that people use to distinguish dialect from language.  Linguists also get around these difficulties by using the term "variety", which can work for either a dialect or a language.\n\nADDITIONAL: The definition that the previous person gave you is actually better as a discussion of standard vs. nonstandard dialect, rather than language vs. dialect.  In many countries, dialects that don't have high status are called "dialect", while dialects that have high status are called "languages".  That's another example of how sociopolitical factors can affect this discussion.

Yes I would say so.  Apart from cultural things that may be tied to a language, each language also has a unique sound or melody which I think affects you in some way just the way that music can. It affects how things are expressed, as well as perceived. This is why I would be concerned about the spread of English; it could definitely hurt the diversity of the world.  And the mainstream English is not nearly as melodious as half the other languages out there in my opinion.

things to include in your speech are :\n- different cultures read body language differently (in some cultures such as japan, eye contact is a sign of disagreement)\n- different words mean different things in different cultures\n- the way people conduct their job is different in many cultures\nthese are some ideas to get you started.. also say that understanding the basic communication elements in different cultures minimizes stress and disagreement among workers which eventually leads to better work production (better in effeiciency and work is more effective in producing positive results in the workplace and reaching goals)

Asia is a vast continent with many diverse cultures, probably as many as countries.  However, in general, asian culture is more high-context and western culture more low-context. This simply means that actions speak louder than words in Asia. There are traditions and sort of inside info that you have to learn in order to be able to communicate properly and appreciate the culture. This, in contrast to the west, which is more verbal oriented.  What you hear is what they mean.  Asia has more nuances when it comes to speech and what they are really saying.

Because culture determines values (what we think is important in life), it can certainly cause problems in a relationship if the two cultures are very different.  However, I could list a lot of long-term relationships in which the two people came from different cultures and made it work.  I think you need to really look at your values - what you share and what you don't - beforehand, and you should give the relationship a lot of time to be sure before you do anything like get married or have children if you know there are likely to be issues.  Then you need to remain vigilant and conscious of the likelihood that you might not always be looking at things the same way whenever you have problems.

Lifestyle and culture are two very important conditions integral to the well being, good health, and happiness of all. Many cultures have certain food groups that are known to be most beneficial to the growth, health, and longevity of we the people, and with a combined educational and medical program people living under these conditions generally do much better than in other parts of the world where such requirements are non-exsistant.\n\nI believe doctors are quite sensitive when it comes to lifestyle issues, particular lifestyle changes culture to culture, or simply topographically. In closing it's important to remember that no matter what resources and qualities are available to all, one has to take the initiative to act upon their own personal requirements and conditional factors to maximize a standardized outcome.

Yes and no. Yes, every culture has their own way of mannerism. No, as human, manners depends much of one's own upbringing despite of one cultural's background.
