Communication Filter: Language And Cultural Barriers

The first and most obvious barrier to effective communication is the physical barrier. With our team split into three different locations, the physical distance can lead to miscommunication.

One of the important ways of communicating is teaching, which is rich in verbal, written, and nonverbal communication. I have given on the job training and taught numerous classes in the military to soldiers including: basic skills, marksmanship training, weapons maintenance, first aid, self-aid and buddy care, land navigation, urban warfare-mount training (entering and clearing buildings), personal hygiene, Military Occupation Specialist (MOS), battle drills, Equal Employment Opportunity, and Sexual Harassment and Assault Prevention (SHARP). (Appendix The Operations Security (OPSEC) required the teaching of the following: identifying crucial information, analyze the threat, analyze vulnerabilities, assess the risks, and plan countermeasure application. As a drill sergeant, additional teaching was required to instruct Drill and Ceremony, combat battle drills, and further weapon maintenance. When I was assigned as the Assistant Convey Commander while deployed in Iraq my duties were comprised of teaching battle drills, rollover drills, vehicle recovery, reaction to Improvised Explosive Device (IED), reaction to small arms fire, and additional weapon maintenance. (Appendix) As Assistant Convoy Commander in Iraq I would instruct the Humvee driver with nonverbal gestures, as needed (due to the noise of the

Due to the cultural differences, some people who come from different counties will often have some misunderstanding in the team work or cooperation. I also meet this kind of problems in the presentation’s teamwork. In the process of cooperation, we have a lots of verbal communication, while some questions have different means for us. For example, “where are you going?” and “do you eat dinner?”, all of these questions are just greetings, but for my team members, these questions are their privacy. Thus, these

Author Amy Tan introduces readers to her perspective of the voracious love relationships between mother and daughters. In the story, the protagonist is a young girl called Jing Mei who is also the main character in the story with her Mother being the antagonist. Being first generation Americans set forward multiple expectations and implications for the protagonist to deliver. Young Jing Mei struggled to find the freedom to express her own identity rather then live up to her mothers standards. Both mother and daughter soon fell into conflict because of their complexities and views. Jing Mei’s mother wanted to transform her into a prodigy, as Jing Mei just wanted life and experience life as a normal american girl. As being the product of an immigrant family, as a parent, Mother Woo wanted very open opportunity for her child. Being in this country was a privilege and had much more meaning to Mother Woo than Jing Mei. Multiple barriers were experienced by both charters. Cultural indifferences,the search for identity, and self improvement were key components to the personal interoperation established to readers through out its synopsis.

I share your communication issue and struggle when speaking in front of groups of people. I feel this is because as the author states “Face-to-face we receive many more signals than just speech” (2015, p.21). I feel that I become more focused on how my audience is reacting to my message, rather than just communicating my intended message. This is something I hope to gain the skills to overcome as we progress through this course.

After much research and reading, I have found step by step approaches for helping patients that may have some type of language barrier. In the event, that a healthcare worker is unable to communicate properly with a patient, the healthcare worker must find what the source of the barrier may be. There are three type of barriers – language, hearing, and visual. If it is a language barrier that is causing the miscommunication between the patient and healthcare worker, the first thing that needs to be done is discover what language the patient might speak. Secondly, make sure that all the medical materials are culturally appropriate, translated, or written in plain language.

There was tension building when both sides couldn't agree or communicate on a claim and controlled level. More difficulties among communications come from the United States government telling the american man that resources are on their way and that the news is broadcasting the whole event to have exposure to the world. Which was a lie because there was a television playing soccer instead of the news. A lost version of Interpersonal communication comes from the deaf girl in Japan. This girl wants to communicate on a level like a traditionally “normal” younger teenager because physically cant until she takes the drugs with her friends and feels a free inspiration.

According to my experiences and different sources of theories, the challenges aside from languages which we have faced in communicating with people from a different country are dialects and complicated term, nonverbal languages, and languages disabilities. The first challenge we have confronted in communication with people from a different country is dialects. Each country consists of several regions which might have diverse dialects and complex terms, consequently it is difficult for non-native person, who don’t completely understand that languages to interpret the real meaning. Therefore, dialectical diversity can be a cause of misunderstanding and gaps between communication. Another barrier aside from different languages communication is

Many assume that their daily life and basic education is enough to be fluent in communication, gender and culture, but they are severely mistaken. As our society becomes more diverse the need to learn about communication and culture increases ever more, for with communication and understanding of one's identification, we can limit and decrease the bigotry in the world. Therefore, allowing to build a stronger foundation for a better society.

This paper is about comparing and contrasting the American style of communication and that of Bahrain.

A single thread cannot become a cord, and a single tree does not make a forest. This Cheng Yu is about cooperation and being part of a larger whole.
