WEEK 55 Communicating in a DiverseWorldCommunication and culture interrelate. Culture is refected in the way we communicate, andthe way we communicate shapes our culture. Because oF our upbringing, we attach speci±cmeanings to what people say and do. These meanings may vary within and between cultures.As our work, school, and community environments become more multicultural, it isincreasingly important to become more conscious oF our cultural di²erences as well as oursimilarities. This, in turn, will enable us to become more sensitive to the cultural context oFone’s words and more pro±cient in using language precisely and sensitively.Communicationis the process by which people transFer inFormation, ideas, attitudes, andFeelings to each other. The wordcommunicatecomes From the Latin verbcommunicare,which means to share. When people use and share symbols with others who can understandtheir meanings, they are communicating. Asymbolis anything that represents somethingelse. Symbols take many Forms. Spoken and written words probably come to mind, but wealso communicate with nonverbal symbols. Examples oF nonverbal communication, or whatwe reFer to as body language, include gestures, Facial expressions, body positioning, touching,and eye movements.I usually Fold my arms and I don’t walk around smiling. People always comment to me “Is itthat bad?” or “Smile; there is nothing to be sad about.” I have been told that I lookunapproachable because oF my stance and Facial expressions, but I think I am one oF the mostapproachable people on the streets.When I smile, there are men who think I’m “coming on to them.” All I’m trying to do is beFriendly.—Other perspectivesPeople throughout the world send messages by a vast array oF body language. InGestures:The Do’s and Taboos of Body Language Around the World, author Roger Axtelldiscusseskinesics, the study oF body movements as a means oF communication. He citesstudies by a number oF researchers, including Mario Pei and Ray Birdwhistell. Pei estimatesthat humans can produce approximately 700,000 physical signs. According to Birdwhistell,the Face alone is capable oF 250,000 expressions.1By studying the kinesics oF di²erentcultures, anthropologists have determined that people From di²erent cultures may signaleach other in very di²erent ways.Body language throughout the world isculturallyspecifc. IF a gesture is culturally speci±c, it may mean one thing to one culture butsomething quite di²erent to another (seePhoto 5.1). During his presidency, Former PresidentGeorge W. Bush, a native oF Texas, made a “hook ‘em horns” gesture that is well knownamong University oF Texas Fans.UnFortunately, the gesture is culturally speci±c, and carries di²erent meanings in otherregions oF the world. Some Norwegians saw this gesture as the president oF the United States

making the “sign of the devil.” Some people in Central and South America were shocked. Tothem, the president was indicating someone’s wife was unfaithful. A Rand Corporation report,commissioned by the U.S. Joint Forces Command, cited this gesture as one example of howmisinterpreted symbols have negatively impacted the U.S. government’s credibilityelsewhere.Communication allows us to dialogue and feel a sense of togetherness. Also, it can illustrateour di±erences and drive a wedge between us. This is especially true of interculturalcommunication.Intercultural communicationrefers to a process in which messagescreated in one culture must be processed and interpreted in another culture.Misunderstandings can also occur between people who may be di±erent in a variety of ways.Maybe they have di±erent styles of communication. Likewise, di±erences in gender, age,marital status, or social class may make it di²cult to connect with someone.Miscommunication often results because we attach di±erent meanings to the same symbol.As an example, Nike marketed some of its products by displaying their logo, the word Air, instylized letters. They soon discovered that the logo resembles the Arabic word for Allah.Under threat of a worldwide boycott of its product by Muslims, Nike agreed to recall and stopselling any shoes with this logo. Muslims found this logo to be o±ensive, especially when itappeared on shoes. By communicating a totally di±erent message than they intended, Nikelearned a costly and important lesson. According to one spokesperson for Nike, “Ourcompany has to be more vigilant and work more with communities on issues of sensitivity.”2Most of us think of ourselves as literate. Because of our educational background, we can readand write. But we are literate only in a particular cultural environment. In another settingwithin our society or abroad, we may have no idea how to communicate ideas and feelings.There are a lot of beautiful, favorite places in any language in which you feel yourself athome. In English, I don’t have such a place yet. All phrases come out from my mouth, roughand heavy . . . the words fall with plops on the ³oor, like ugly frogs. And I am so waiting forthe butter³y.—Another perspectiveMen and Women, Divided by LanguageDeborah Tannen is a professor oflinguistics, the science of language. In her research, Tannenfocuses on the di±erent communication styles of men and women.3She has writtenextensively on this subject. Her books, entitledYou Just Don’t Understand,That’s Not What IMeant, andTalking from 9 to 5o±er some examples of gender di±erences.• Men engage in report talk, women in rapport talk.Report talkis a way of showingone’s knowledge and skill.Rapport talkallows one to share with others and developrelationships.
