Study Notes
Nonverbal Communication
- In America, standing with hands on hips may suggest power or pride, but in Argentina, it may suggest anger or a challenge.
- In many Arab countries, sitting with the foot resting on the opposite knee is strongly discouraged, as it is considered dirty to show the bottom of the shoe.
Paralanguage
- Paralanguage refers to factors of speech such as accent, pitch range, volume, or articulation.
- In Britain, volume is used to convey anger, while in India, it is used to command attention.
- Japanese women raise the pitch of their voices to differentiate themselves from men.
- In America, voice pitch between genders remains comparably the same.
Intercultural Communication
- Intercultural communication refers to interactions among people from different cultures.
- Realization of having two different cultures or values can be a significant factor in ineffective communication.
- High-context cultures leave much of the message unspecified, while low-context cultures tend to be more explicit.
Islamic Cross-Cultural Hybridization
- "The 99" is an example of Islamic cross-cultural hybridization, where strands of different cultures are intertwined.
- The 99 is a comic book series featuring Islamic superheroes, created by Kuwaiti psychologist Naif Al-Mutawa.
- The characters, such as Noora and Jami, embody attributes of Allah, such as justice and wisdom.
Communication Barriers
- Miscommunication can occur due to cultural and linguistic differences.
- An example of miscommunication is the "Hu's on First?" skit, where the names "Hu" and "Yassir" are confused, leading to a series of misunderstandings.
- To prevent miscommunication, speakers should be aware of cultural differences and clarify any misunderstandings promptly.
