    This document compares and contrasts high context and low context cultures. It presents a chart that shows high context cultures have strong dependence on shared understandings and social networks, emphasize group responsibility, have less personal space and privacy, and view time in a polychronic sense. Low context cultures focus more on the central message, emphasize individual responsibility, value privacy, view time in a monochronic sense, and are more open to change. The document was presented by Daniela Michelle Ojeda Valdivia to her Interculturalidad class at Universidad Bancaria de México on December 05.
