Different cultures vary from person to person mainly due to the country or nation in which he/she has grown up. With this, people from the same country are more likely to acquire the same cultural characteristics. ]]> 2022-11-12 01:31:49 UTC https://padlet.com/group8ged106/6jo5wem6cpbuvfr9/wish/2380748098 jayrontenorio https://padlet.com/group8ged106/6jo5wem6cpbuvfr9/wish/2380749452 With these occurring differences in cultures, communication tends to be affected. Communication between persons with different cultural characteristics/background could be quite a challenge due to various reasons:]]> 2022-11-12 01:35:03 UTC https://padlet.com/group8ged106/6jo5wem6cpbuvfr9/wish/2380749452 Different way of thinking/beliefs jayrontenorio https://padlet.com/group8ged106/6jo5wem6cpbuvfr9/wish/2380749836 As different people acquire and learn cultures from their own home countries, which may likely differ from others, their beliefs will most certainly vary in at least one way. As they grew up in different environments and traditions, their way of thinking in some way may vary. Another aspect to look at is religion. Although culture is not directly related to one’s religion, one’s home country may have a dominant religion among its citizens. And with the varying religions of people, beliefs and mindsets will likely differ which is a challenge in communication. ]]> 2022-11-12 01:36:05 UTC https://padlet.com/group8ged106/6jo5wem6cpbuvfr9/wish/2380749836 Different Language jayrontenorio https://padlet.com/group8ged106/6jo5wem6cpbuvfr9/wish/2380750052 Going to the more technical aspect in which communication will be definitely challenged is the difference in language. As we all know, it will be really hard, if not possible, that communication between two different people/groups with different languages to take place.]]> 2022-11-12 01:36:41 UTC https://padlet.com/group8ged106/6jo5wem6cpbuvfr9/wish/2380750052 Reason 3 (Lifestyle) jayrontenorio https://padlet.com/group8ged106/6jo5wem6cpbuvfr9/wish/2380750190 This short video focuses more on the lifestyles of cultural differences where the person's social norms or how they used to live in their homeland challenged or saw the gap in their lifestyles. Since every country has a different way to live through their lifestyle from eating foods, clothes, and communicating with the locals so that the person living can integrate themselves into their lifestyle that they are living, there are many ways to communicate than language. Communications can also start with an interest in foods, clothes, music, and culture.]]> 2022-11-12 01:37:05 UTC https://padlet.com/group8ged106/6jo5wem6cpbuvfr9/wish/2380750190 5 Examples of Cultural Differences in different countries luckiebunao0 https://padlet.com/group8ged106/6jo5wem6cpbuvfr9/wish/2380886421 2022-11-12 08:42:39 UTC https://padlet.com/group8ged106/6jo5wem6cpbuvfr9/wish/2380886421 Japan luckiebunao0 https://padlet.com/group8ged106/6jo5wem6cpbuvfr9/wish/2380891225 In Japan, when eating noodles, people make a slurping sound because they believe that doing this is to appreciate the food, which means that the food is delicious. It is not a requirement; however, it is a habit of Japanese people. If you don't do it, the Japanese will look at it rude, and they will think that you don't like their food. On the other hand, if you slurp in other countries, they will think of you as rude, for example, in the Philippines.]]> 2022-11-12 08:56:17 UTC https://padlet.com/group8ged106/6jo5wem6cpbuvfr9/wish/2380891225 South Korea luckiebunao0 https://padlet.com/group8ged106/6jo5wem6cpbuvfr9/wish/2380895866 In South Korea, it is practiced to use both hands in receiving something, even if it is a change from a convenience store or a gift from a friend.  You can also use your right hand to receive while holding your right wrist with your left hand. Koreans will be considered rude if you only receive it with one hand. ]]> 2022-11-12 09:09:16 UTC https://padlet.com/group8ged106/6jo5wem6cpbuvfr9/wish/2380895866 Different Language RolandChryzlerMundo https://padlet.com/group8ged106/6jo5wem6cpbuvfr9/wish/2380896187 Communication focuses more on sending the message where the speaker wants to show or talk about a topic or the context when speaking to each other. This difference in communication can be a hindrance when speaking in a different language where they do not have a common language where breaking or broken language can be helpful since they are trying to understand each other on the topic or context they wanted. Given an example where communication is not apparent, having formal attire have different meaning and the appropriate time when wearing it based on other cultures (Glassdoor Team, 2021).

We can put on a simple form like an individualist or collectivist society where the people living based on their cultures can be easily distinguishable from others hence the differences between them. Individualistic societies are more prone to participate in activities alone, and social encounters, while more frequent, tend to be briefer and less intimate. People from collective cultures are more inclined to favor social movements as the duration and intimacy of social contacts increase (Menzies, 2019).

They usually punctuate or end a usual sentence in a conversation.   When a Filipino child meets an older family member, the youth customarily greets them with a gesture called mano po, taking the older relative's hand and placing it on his or her own forehead to express profound respect for the elder. It is way to communicate their respect. I don't see any countries doing this practice. ]]> 2022-11-12 09:39:30 UTC https://padlet.com/group8ged106/6jo5wem6cpbuvfr9/wish/2380907148 Kingdom of Saudi Arabia RolandChryzlerMundo https://padlet.com/group8ged106/6jo5wem6cpbuvfr9/wish/2380908297 The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has a strict dress code when going outside the house. Everybody, male or female, should cover their skin as much as possible and wear loose-fitting like long sleeves, pants, and blouses (East, 2022).

It's something that most French people do at least once or twice a day, whether with family, friends, or coworkers. It is different from other countries because kissing cheeks is only seen on lovers or family members.]]> 2022-11-12 09:56:43 UTC https://padlet.com/group8ged106/6jo5wem6cpbuvfr9/wish/2380914012 In conclusion luckiebunao0 https://padlet.com/group8ged106/6jo5wem6cpbuvfr9/wish/2380925773 Cultural variations influence how we communicate. To break down boundaries and avoid misinterpretation, we must immerse ourselves in the information that extends well beyond our culture. We must be cautious in our acts and words since we all hold diverse opinions that may offend others. Learning other cultures is not that hard; we just need the basics that will not offend them. Culture is one of the factors affecting globalization, so as it rises, we have to be open in order to communicate and help one another. Globalization can help our economy and relationship among countries.]]> 2022-11-12 10:29:27 UTC https://padlet.com/group8ged106/6jo5wem6cpbuvfr9/wish/2380925773 Members: jayrontenorio https://padlet.com/group8ged106/6jo5wem6cpbuvfr9/wish/2380959398 Jino Luckie Bunao
