going to deal with those challenges? What communication strategies are you
going to employ?

I should know what things I must consider first before starting a

conversation or start to communicate with someone who I think have a
different view from me. Restriction is the communication strategy that may
employ in all aspect of multicultural settings because it confines me as a
speaker and limit the words that I must say. In restriction, I could respect the
culture of the one I’m talking to by limiting on my words. For example, if the
person I’m talking with is very considerate in speaking bad words and I’m the
person who always cussed, I must limit and restrict cussing when I’m talking
with her/him to show consideration.

watched, then I saw a local and asked for help. But when I started a
conversation with her, she couldn’t understand English language and the only
thing she understand is the name of the restaurant. She speak to me with
their language but the only thing that I understand with, is her gesture so I just
follow the gesture of her hand that says the direction. The different culture and
language affects the communication.

situation is complete?
I can say that the process of communication in a communicative situation
is complete when the sender and the receiver have the same understanding
for the convey message. It will start in the sender that evaluates his/her ideas

successful communication?
Successful communication may happen in the principles of effective
communication by understanding and considering each one principles to be a
very important aspect or role of communication. It could help give a

should relay to the listener; the speaker should show courtesy, by listening on
the audience opinion; and the speaker should consider the correctness in
every aspect such as in time, exact message and correct flow of every speech

creative, captivating and concise to his/her speech to give a visual interest to
the listeners, attract the people’s attention and leave an impact to the listeners

ethical communication deals with the behavior of each individual. It
advocates, endorse, strive, promote, condemn, commit and accept ethics in
communication to have an effective and significant communication. If these

important?
Due to globalized world many considered the English language as the
international language for us to understand each other even though we have
different culture. In a globalized world, people who possess the ability of an
effective communication across cultures are highly demand to all countries.
Many important transaction are successfully united and build because of the

language, Filipino people become a demand in other countries to work. They
could easily get a job in other countries because they are very hardworking
and also possess effective communication.

5. Give and explain 1 communicative situation in which cultural differences

are not respected.
In a situation between two people who have different beliefs as a Roman
Catholic and a Christian. For example, Melissa and Alisa are classmates,
Melissa is a Christian and Alisa is a Roman Catholic. One night, Alisa invited
Melissa to her apartment, and when they arrived she left Melissa alone in the
living room to cook for their dinner. When Alisa came back, she saw Melissa
sweeping the floor and it make Alisa stop Melissa and get the broom from her
hand. Melissa didn’t know what is the problem, all she know is that she is
helping Alisa to clean her house. And as Alisa saw the confuse face of her
friend, she told Melissa that it is inappropriate to sweep when it is evening
because they believe sweeping in the evening is like you also swept out the
blessing for the people in that house. These two religions conduct and view
differently in beliefs and in norms. In some point, Roman Catholic have many
kinds of belief and somewhat they classified it as an old beliefs that they are
still doing and believe until now. While Christian people only believe on the
doctrine and words in the Bible told by God and not by people so they don’t
know any kinds of belief that a Catholic believe and follow. But both must
respect and know the culture of each other for them to communicate well.
