At a second job interview, the candidate was asked whether he was Muslim and asked his name. When he gave his name, the employer said they would call him "George" because it was easy to pronounce. The candidate was also asked at the interview about his need for a mosque, what country he was from, and whether he understood what "slang" was. The candidate was not appointed to the position.
The interviewer said that he was just trying to be friendly and helpful to the candidate and he did not mean any offense. The candidate felt he was being discriminated against and unfairly targeted.

- My PRICA score was 36 while my PRCA score was 95. Having a PRCA score over 75 and even 80 shows that I have general to high levels of communication apprehension. My PRICA score reflected that I have low to median intercultural communication apprehension. I expected both scores to be relatively lower, so I was surprised to see such a high score on the PRCA. I guess that I do feel intimidated in most conversations, and I never want to intrude or put my two senses into any conversation in fear that I would be looked down on. Maybe I feel more comfortable talking with people from other cultures because I can learn from them, and I feel as though they might not judge me so easily for my thoughts and opinions.

In the US, business is conducted much differently than in other countries. In high context cultures, you must be very careful with: the tone of your voice, facial expressions, gestures, posture and other non-verbal cues when meeting with other businesspeople. It also helps to come from a well-known family and to have a strong title in your organization. These factors can make or break your career. In the US, these things are important to a small degree, but is greatly overshadowed by the "bottom line." Here, business is more about direct speaking, money, and contracts. Businesses care about the value you offer them and the money they can make as opposed to your personal background and non-verbal communications. When comparing the two different models, do you believe the US model based on transactions, value, and money is superior or should other factors matter more?
