Presentation
Elements which constitute culture. Differences between attitudes based on culture and on individual personality and how does culture affects communication in a globalised context.
To use a visual aid and theoretical basic input to think about behavioural attitudes and culture.
a) Which elements constitute culture?
- Culture can be considered everything the human being rules about life and communicate to others e.g. the process to invent something new and be used by the others like a metaphor of life and culture. [Metaphor of the inventor, invention and instructions]
b) What is cultural and what is personal at the communication process?
- It is represented a diagram in which three concentrically circles show the personal and cultural elements of the being and how they interact to build personality and communicate with others.
c) How does culture affects communication?
- Connected with the previous circles example, we can see sometimes the communication between human beings or cultural groups does not depend on the cultural similarities but the similarities of personality built by a mixing of personal pre-cultural factors on combination with the cultural surrounded during your life.
