The essence of effective cross-cultural communication has more to do with releasing the

right response than with sending right message

Communication has been the bridge between many relationships, cultures, and even politics. We
connect, relate, and even contradict with other people’s thoughts through communication.
Every culture has their own differences in words, gestures, bodily expressions, and even values
that may cause misunderstanding or show hostility when there is no cultural intelligence within a
cultural conversation. In order to avoid this, it is important to release the right responses rather
than sending the right message. The quote, “It’s Not What’s Said, It’s What’s Heard” is a great
representation for this. By listening correctly, and responding appropriately, we will be able to
effectively communicate through cultures. I believe, that what matters is how they respond to the
response, which will be certainly different for every culture. As we live in a world full of diversity,
we can avoid chaos, and war, in where this can be only achieved when everyone knows how to
release the right responses.

In addition, the text emphasizes that all of us comes from different beliefs, norms and or
specifically different culture. Effective communication is about understanding and proper
delivering of the message, that is why it is important to have the right responses better than sending
the right messages since now a days people are more sensitive, and by responding we can show
how we express our emotions.
Another point is that releasing the right responses helps to adapt the cultural gaps and backgrounds
of individuals. I believe, tailoring the individual responses to the cultural context, makes the
message both understood and well-received. Effective cross cultural communication would be less
of an issue if everyone learn to think twice before giving a response. Every people will understand
well if every communicators know how to send the right response with upright courteous and
respect to the other party.

That was a great thought given by Anabelle, Language is a tool of communication. Contrary to
what we know for a long time, communication does not have an equal language. And surely most
of us believe that if we use together the right words, communication will start and naturally flow.
Above mentioned thought will surely change our mind and start thinking about communication.

I believe the focus should be on the listener not on the speaker for the reason that the listener is the
one who will give reaction and response or even feedback with what the speaker says.
Communication is strategic, right? Its all about getting the other person or the other party or hear
the desired intent behind the message and respond in a certain way. Also, when we communicate
with other people we should always bare in mind that we have differences in cultures.

In addition, Cross-cultural communication is an understanding of different beliefs, communicating
two different languages and strategies.
I agree that the essence of cross-cultural communication has more to do with releasing the right
response than sending the right message. Because in releasing the right response it is a way that
message was delivered by showing emotion, body language, tone, and intonation that needs to pay
attention to answer or respond base on understanding, not by what you just heard, so that it prevent
misunderstanding.
For example if two or more persons with different culture and language are communicating, they
must also understand the act and expression of each other in order to recognize on what they want
to portray. Like what I said before, just respect each other and not most of the time you are speaking
you need to give a chance the persons your talking, to give his/her suggestion or opinion, so that
the conversation will flow orderly and nice.

That’s right Ness, Cross Cultural Communication is how people from different countries and
culture communicate to other people. The effective communication is to communicate or right
exchange of ideas and opinions between two or more that is shared with interactions. As a speaker
we should be responsible to make a good conversation. The behavior of you and your partner
directs tour conversation and how your communication will flow.

Sending the right feedback than sending the right message, sending the right feedback is to share
your thoughts or feeling about the message when you respond to the person you communicate
with, there is a certain action or reaction when you send the right response or feedback than sending
the right message which you will deliver the information or the message first than the action.

One feels satisfied when you are aware of their origins, culture, and beliefs. Understanding cultural
differences is beneficial. It’s not bad to know and respect their beliefs. It’s okay to find other
cultures’ interesting. Embracing and appreciating other people’s cultures does not entail neglecting
your own. They desired a certain response from everyone, and that is embracing and appreciating
their culture.
It’s beneficial to incorporate someone else’s culture into your own if you can recognize its
fundamental components, respect its adherents’ values and customs, and come to love and accept
it as your own that’s how right response would come in, which is beneficial for an effective
communication base on Edward and Mildred Hall.
