Question

Discussion 5.1 - Intercultural Communication We have been discussing the aspects of intercultural communication and how communication across cultures becomes confused. Now it is your turn. Your initial post answers these questions: Describe a time when cultural bias has inhibited you from communicating. What were the cultural factors involved? How were you able to overcome these factors? What would you do differently if you were in a similar situation? Remember that intercultural is not the same as international. In the United States, we have many cultures; some are due to multi-nationalism, others are due to geography, and still others are based on gender, race, and religion. You must support your response with at least two scholarly sources. Do not forget to use APA style in-text citations and references.

Answer 1

Ans: Communication is a process of transforming information from one person to the other with a proper understanding.

A time cultural bias has inhibited for me when i went to another country for working. Due to the language issue, i faced lots of problems while communicating.

The cultural factors were, i could some how managed to understand the co-workers language. Had some tough phase to understand their language mainly the accent they use.

The only thing to overcome is to learn the language or else communicating in the language which i known, is English.

Firstly, listen actively. Try to understand the other persons point of view. Since i know some communication basics, i will figure out what the co-worker saying.
