Communication Between Cultures
The back ground music by Omar Akram www.omarakram.com Omar:"In a world where communication and understanding between cultures is sometimes difficult, I hope my music can serve as a form of international language that crosses any cultural barriers. Having lived and traveled in many countries, I have come to realize that we need to embrace aspects of each culture that make them unique and special. What some people see as problematical differences, I see as our planet's entire cultural heritage. With my music, I try to celebrate some of the sounds and feelings I have encountered worldwide. I would like to invite music lovers from all cultures to join me in traveling on this "Secret Journey." --------------------------------- Six Fundamental Patterns of Cultural Difference Different communication styles Different attitudes towards conflict Different approaches to completing tasks Different decision-making styles Different attitudes towards disclosure Different approaches to knowing Culture is often at the root of communication challenges. Exploring historical experiences and the ways in which various cultural groups have related to each other is key to opening channels for cross-cultural communication. Becoming more aware of cultural differences, as well as exploring cultural similarities, can help you communicate with others more effectively. Next time you find yourself in a confusing situation, ask yourself how culture may be shaping your own reactions, and try to see the world from the other's point of view.Category: Education

Speaking of ...
Speaking of diversity, linguists keep on expressing their concern about certain world's languages disappearing due to assimilation processes, which, they claim, reduces cultural diversity. Ironically enough, no people of consequence or political influence and no public institutions have voiced their concern about European nations losing their racial identity as a result of non-European mass immigration! The criminality of this absurdity consists in the constant promotion of 'multi-culturalism'.

The Enlightment ...
The Enlightment philospher's name is spelled "Spinoza" I think that you mean under "Fears" ... "UN-intentionally"... you have stated that there is a fear of hurting people "intentionally" . That's as far as I got, there may be other careless errors of spelling in there, marring an otherwise good summary.

The general views ...
The general views of Eastern culture make more sense to me. We are just as connected to the universe as anything else. And I think if we didn't see ourselves as so separate and alone, we could find strength in the connectedness and see past trivial differences in culture that divide us.

I believe that this video helps to capture many of the 'must knows' about intercultural communication. I will use this video in an upcoming class focussing on cultural sensitivity and responsiveness (with students in health professional programs) , as in less than 9 minutes there are many significant lessons to ponder and absorb.

Some say or believe that this is to be the time (coming...) when all religions cultures are to blend together, when we start to recognize that we are one family. You're video reminds us of that strong hope. Thank you for sharing your heart & soul. Peace & Blessings, Sonya Rose
