contexts. ... Conditions for effective, intercultural
communication are the following: respect for other
cultures. awareness of other cultures and own culture.
 High context vs Low Context
High-context cultures are those that communicate in
ways that are implicit and rely heavily on context. In
contrast, low-context cultures rely on explicit verbal
communication. High-context cultures are collectivist,
value interpersonal relationships, and have members
that form stable, close relationships.

It is estimated that 70% of the world is high context

(Tung, 1995). Examples of high context countries
include: Japan, China, and the Arab countries. Examples
of low context cultures include: Scandinavia; Germany,
and the US
 SEQUENTIAL VS SYNCHRONIC

Sequential cultures see time as one line consisting of

equal building blocks. Activities are placed along that line
in a sequential order, in a logical, efficient way. Examples
are German, Swedish and Dutch.

In Synchronic cultures, on the other hand, time is flexible

and various activities can take place at the same time.
Examples are Asians

Cultures are either sequential or synchronic. Sequential

cultures view time as a limited resource, sequential, and
precise. Synchronic cultures view time as a guideline, a
moldable concept, and secondary to the task at hand.
 AFFECTIVE VS NUETRAL
In neutral, emotions are controlled, they do
not telegraph their feelings, whereas in an
emotional culture emotions are expressed
openly and spontaneously, they smile,
laugh, cry, shout or walk out of the room.
Well-known examples of neutral cultures
are Japan and Great Britain, U.S. And
Singapore. Affective cultures are mostly
Asians.
