Cultural Communication


When communicating with others, I usually do not let cultural diversity interfere with the conversation or interaction. I keep a professional standpoint and try to respect everyone’s beliefs and comments with regard to the subject, because I feel everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

However when communicating with my family, I tend to be a lot more vocal and won’t back down from my beliefs. Several conversations can turn into arguments because we are all very opinionated. I believe we all communicated like this with each other because my parents have always told us to fight for what we want or feel.  

Three strategies that I could use to communicate more effectively is always keeping an open mind towards others viewpoints, to not let my body language show how I feel about the subject matter and to reflect on what I am told. When using these strategies, I can take more away from the conversations I have with others.
