How to Effect Successful Cross-culture Communication
Purpose:
This paper aims to talk about cross-culture communication and find ways to effect successful communication between different countries, which have different culture background, history, convention .etc.
As we all know, language plays a decisive role when communicate with others but the diversity in language and culture makes cross-culture communication a highly risky mission. To complete this almost impossible mission in the ensuing passages, I will first introduce some basic elements concerning communication. Then, a group of case studies collected from diverse cultural settings will be present. It is hoped that these cases present the vivid picture, show us some basic rules to effect successful communication between different countries.
1. Some basic elements which we should know about cross-culture communication Culture and communication Culture and communication, although two different concepts, are directly linked. Culture is learned, acted out, transmitted, and preserved through communication. Communication, our ability to share our ideas and feelings, is the basis of all human contact. Some basic principles in communication so that a healthier discourse pattern can be adopted. Try to look at things from other persons’ point of view. try to sense their feeling to a given issue. try to understand their way of knowing the world.
2 What can go wrong? People from different cultures encode and decode messages differently, increasing the chances of misunderstanding, so the safety-first consequence of recognizing cultural differences should be to assume that everyone's thoughts and actions are not just like ours. Such assumptions stem from potentially devastating ignorance and can lead to much frustration for members of both cultures. Entering a culture with this type of ethnocentrism, the assumption your own culture is correct, is another byproduct of ignorance and
