Culture

Culture is everywhere and those who choose to believe in culture make culture alive. I am a believer that my culture dictates how I react with others, behave, and how I perceive the world and others. There is no shaking off my culture. My culture will always play a major role in everything that I do.
Culture can cause confidence as well as misunderstanding because the one who is sending the information can send the wrong information to the receiver. In culture there may be some double standards or ethnocentrism. Many people that exist within a culture believe that their cultures are the best or believe that other cultures are inferior.
Contexts are throughout communication and are not just vocal speaking transfer; however it can be extending importance. This extending importance is context. For instance, in most cultures, in the morning you must address everyone in the house with good morning.
Above average and below average; in above average context the majority of information is restricted in context. The communication is not open or clear, and is used in a communication roundabout way. Below average communication are conveyed straight. The communication must be clear and concise.
The study of awareness and utilizing space is proxemics. Culture dictates how differently most of us handle our space. Proxemics is a significant characteristic of no spoken communication.
