Cultural differences cause many problems between people. It may cause anger, fear and many other emotions. Lets say there are 2 people from each culture A, B, C and D. When one person from culture A makes a statement, A may agree but the rest B, C and D will interpret the statement depending on their culture. Message sent and message recieved may sometimes be the same for every culture however depending on religion, position in society and history can change the meaning of the message to recievers. This is caused by:
1. Conclusion baffle
2. Prejudice
3. Distractions
4. Hearsay
5. Speech habits
6. Unfamiliar terms
7. Confidence
The message sent goes through all the seven above or more in the listers head.
Therefore, when confronted with other cultures, we must try our best to see the seven above in their point of view as well as our own.
