Culture and Communication.Culture is the different values and behaviours that different groups exhibit around the world. For example, The Indian culture while accommodating different settings forms other cultures. They do not permit the use of beef meat in any form. This is a unique way of practising cultural values because everywhere in the world where Indians dwell, one will find this practice still in use.
Where intercultural or Intercultural miscommunication occurs, development on how best to exercise the several dimensions that entail social behaviour is utilised. The proportions in the name are Universalism against particularise, Individualism against communitarians’, specific against diffuse, Neutral against emotional, achievement against ascription, following time against synchronous time, inward direction against outward direction among others. These are the main dimensions that G. Hofstede summarised, but they were initially for before further review was done in the study.
As a student who is studying abroad, Intercultural communication has been a hurdle for most people who have moved to this new place to further their studies. For example, at school, unlike in my hometown, many residents here follow a strict rule of privacy which means that there is minimal interaction between the people. As a person, this is seen as a barrier because one cannot build a rapport with others or be able to communicate effectively with one another.

Sometimes one has o be tolerant of another’s values, and so if both parties cannot actualise a relationship of communication between each other, it proves challenging to move forward.
“As potential advice for intercultural communication problems, one has to understand the different cultures and their use in the society. As a first step to maintaining a healthy communication channel one has to accommodate the different values around us and be aware of our own bias towards what the others are doing.” (Kirkman, Bradley L., 2010, Vol.95(3), pp.405-439)
