About Communication


ポツドキャストの目的は無料な活動が紹介したいです。大学生はお金があまりありませんから、ニューヨークには無料な活動が生活に大切です。美術館とレストランとセントラル·パークへポツドキャストをしに行きます。見たこと後で、みなさんはニューヨークの楽しく,安くと無料な活動を発見ができます。

Effective communication is quite important to an international student. The existance of many misunderstandings and conflicts are due to miscommunication. For instance, in Asia it would be considered rude and irrespecutful to talk with someone in a close distance, which while is quite acceptable in the middle-east cultures. Also as far as I learn, Japanese is a strictly organized and hierarchical language. Mis-use of word would generate negative impact between interpersonal relationship somehow. Therefore, it is important to understand the culture behind the language and practices.

  2. It is interesting observation about the cultural difference regarding the sense of space. I agree with you about the importance of understanding the culture behind the language and practices. However, it is not likely to know all the different cultures, especially in the internationally diverse settings like Columbia University. What would be the most important attitude to avoid miscommunication and/or maintain good relationships?
