CULTURAL BARRIERS
LANGUAGE
When employees speak different native languages,
barriers on the basis of culture can arise. They could have
trouble expressing particular thoughts or understanding
the subtleties of idioms and linguistic clues. Even among
speakers of the same native tongue, minute variations in
our speech patterns and modes of expression might lead to
miscommunication.
PREJUDICE
Prejudices can cause us to ignore
someone or think we already know
what they will say. Lack of
paraphrasing and questioning
abilities can cause
misunderstandings while
responding.
SYMBOLS AND SIGNS
Symbols and signs can be challenging as
well. Those from different cultural
backgrounds might not comprehend these
ideas. A person might not comprehend a
specific symbol used by another culture or
the meaning behind a person's actions.
BEHAVIORS AND BELIEFS
Communication is also hampered by cultural
differences in beliefs. One illustration is the variance in
cultural acceptance levels. Religion, politics, and
epistemology all have an impact on these reasons.
