Conclusion
Contact between cultures is important in our everyday lives. Some people communicate better than others. Some have conflicts, whereas others get on well. It is true for cases when the two parties are from different cultural settings.
People presenting different cultures face numerous objective and subjective barriers. It is possible to overcome them. In the modern world, all people should be aware of culture-specific differences and be ready to embrace it.
Effective intercultural communication is important. It leads to good relationships, successful business deals, emotional enrichment, and more.
Cross-cultural communication is an interaction where the parties belong to different cultural settings. It is a vital component of modern life. Globalization and Internet technologies facilitate these contacts. Negotiations between American and Japanese business partners are cross-cultural. Another example is talking to a foreigner when traveling.
At present, a well-known saying, “It’s a small world” has become as accurate as ever. Infrastructure and Internet technologies connect different parts of the world. People from different cultural settings interact all the time. Building a rapport with foreigners is only possible if we respect their cultural specifics.
Naturally, people understand the world in different ways. Parties face various challenges of subjective and objective hindering factors. The culture we belong to shapes our perception. Every culture generates prejudice, stereotypes, specific etiquette rules, and more. Cross-cultural contact is much more complicated due to culture-specific differences.
