...Intercultural communication has been practiced for as long as mankind has existed. It is simply communicating across different tribes, different parts of the world, different language, and different ways of communication non-verbal – better defined – across different cultures. But when does one’s culture stop being an excuse for doing something that has always been done, and when does national culture matter? Culture: To be able to define the concept ’’culture’’ you have to be aware of the basic norms which you take for granted in your own behavior. You express culture in symbolic forms, whether you have a cross around your neck or a headscarf on your head. It is the result of a learning process through life, and it forms your values, behavior, ideas, ways of communicating (verbal and non-verbal) and simply the rules you are living by – all your do’s and don’ts . Take a look at the article ‘’given all we know of whales, why resume the slaughter?’’ from The Guardian Online, April 6, 2010 by Paola Calalieri, it suggests that ‘’we now live in globalized times’’ but even though we have made it more easy to communicate (Internet etc.) & to travel across borders, the borders are still there, meaning the culture is still different within each border. Many international organizations have tried, and some succeeded, to introduce international laws, like the WTO (World Trade Organization), NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) and the Human Right Organization; also there is...

...Interpersonal Communication Essay It was a sunny, warm Friday afternoon during the end of a normal day of Basic combat training. Farren, Jerald, Richard, and I had just got done having a wonderful dinner at the Chow hall A.K.A Cafeteria. As we sat around the den and conversed with each other, several of the other Battle buddies started to arrive because they had a duty to go to and wanted to leave together from the same area. Farren and I had never met these young men before so they introduced themselves to us one at a time. For the most part, they seemed nice and I got along with them very well. However, Farren’s interaction with one of them took a turn for the worst. It seemed apparent that Woodrow introduced himself to Farren because all his other friends had done so. After all, it only seemed right for him to fulfill those social expectations, especially since he’s the platoon leader and he didn’t want to look bad in front of all the other soldiers. At first, it appeared that they were building a healthy relationship with good communication as a foundation. I observed how much enjoyment both of them were getting from exchanging information about each other. Woodrow told her things such as the university he attended back home, his major, extracurricular activities, and what type of job he had. Farren revealed to him her daytime activities, goals, dreams, and the type of music she listened to. The apparent purpose for the interaction flourished into two individuals...

...Demonstrative communication plays a critical role in all forms of communication. Demonstrative communication is the process of sending and receiving information and/or messages by non-verbal communication through actions, gestures, expressions, and tone of voice. The importance of these actions can set the tone for the conversation that ensues, thus the importance of demonstrative communication is essential. Body language such as actions and gestures and general bodily movement during conversation can be a very dominant device. An important aspect of body language is eye level. An individuals eye level during a conversation can set the tone, if someone is looking at the ground and not making eye contact the conversation can be observed as negative. Arm positioning is also important in body language, if someone crosses their arms or has their hands in their pockets also gives off the same negative vibes. These little gestures and actions can have a conversation take the turn from positive and confident to negative. Body language is essential in face-to-face interactions. These factors would play a huge role in how the receiver of the message would perceive the sender and if they would in fact receive the message. According to Huntington (2014), “Nonverbal cues affect how people understand what you are attempting to communicate, and their reaction corresponds to how you delivered your message. If you are expecting a certain response by the receiver of your message, your...

These structures make it possible for companies to utilize their resources to achieve set goals.

...Demonstrative Communication Tracy Cummings BCOM/275 August 29, 2012 Instructor, Dr. Phil Demonstrative Communication Demonstrative Communication is a form of communication that includes nonverbal and unwritten way of communicating. It is used to express thoughts, feelings, and or emotions without speaking. With nonverbal communication we send and receive messages without ever saying a word. These’s skills are an essential part of our everyday lives, and we must always be aware of what we look like when we say things. Nonverbal communication provides us with a form for passing on messages without the use of verbal languages. According to Rose (2004) it is an unspoken infiltrator that influences our shared environment, and it serves many functions that make our conversation in a particular direction for the message (Chip Rose, attorney and mediator). There are lots of different types of nonverbal and unwritten communications that I would like to talk about, and they are, body language, facial expressions, and tone of voice, the first one I would like to talk about is body languages; this is an important part of communication. Studies show that 50% or more of what we are communicating is due to body languages. By using body language the right way, you will be able to communicate with others more efficiently and it will make you understand how you can or cannot use your body to say what you really mean. Facial expressions are another form of nonverbal communication;...

...In my profession communication is key when it comes to caring for my patients. I communicate multiple times throughout the day with multiple people such as my coworkers, doctors, supportive staff, and even case workers. As a nurse I am with my patients for 12 hours of the day while others may only see them once a day for less than an hour.
