Write a reflection on the importance of non-verbal language to inter-cultural awareness or cultural intelligence.
Describe (and provide an example of) each of Hall’s cultural dimensions:
the language of time;
language of space;
language of things;
language of friendships;
and language of agreements (also distinguish between high and low context communication).
Are there other “languages”? [e.g., the language of “silence”].
How might Hall’s dimensions be operationalized in the conduct of international business? Discuss.
How does the invention and use of emoticons relate to this factor in global culture? Do they increase or decrease the changes of miscommunication in online communications when people from diverse cultures are involved?
