Direct/Low Context— Low context cultures, like the United States, tend to be more heterogeneous
and individualist and accordingly have evolved a more direct communication style.
Less can be assumed about the other person in a heterogeneous society, and less is
known about others in a culture where people prefer independence, self-reliance,
and a greater emotional distance from each other. They cannot depend merely on
manipulating context—not doing or not saying something that is always done or
said in that situation—or communicating nonverbally to make themselves
understood; they must rely more on words, and on those words being interpreted
literally. Getting or giving information is the goal of most communication
exchanges.
TASK 1.The exercise below helps you define the differences. In the underlined space before each of the numbered statements, write "I" if you think it applies to a culture where communication is indirect/high context, or "D" if communication is direct/low context.
