Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
Communication is the core factor of cross cultural contact which embodies language ability and awareness of cultural differences. Dexterity in cultural interactions requires knowledge and skills in terms of accepted conduct in a particular cultural context. Hence, cross-cultural diffusion demands understanding and accepting of social conventions. Although cross cultural communication is indispensable, individuals face problems in understanding and accepting cultural differences. Cultural differences arise not only in food habits, dressing style and social customs but also in non verbal components like body language, punctuality, speech pattern, eye contact and many more. Encompassed in an environment where non verbal communication differs greatly from culture to culture, not accepting the differences apparently cause embarrassments, disappointments and misunderstandings sometimes resulting in conflicts. This paper emphasizes on the various aspects of nonverbal communication while communicating cross culturally and apparently learning and accepting cultural differences making it one of the essential perspectives of soft skills.
