Cultural Miscommunication
Is interesting to know that each people live in a country and each country have their own cultures.
The Cultural Miscommunication is when two or more people of different nationalities are together and they interpret things on a different way.
I have the opportunity to live in USA now and learn a new culture. One example to me was to use my hands to communicate with others and I found that is not okey to do that. Also I do a lot of noises using my month and adults people can be offend with me because they can think that I saying that they are babies. In Argentina, we use a lot our body when we are talking with another people.
In this link is a short explanation and some example about Argentinian people using their hands to talk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=048gPKiNAMQ
One think that I found interesting about it is that I need to be careful every time that I use my hands because doesn't has the same meaning to others cultures or peoples.
It's a new information for me that Argentinian use the hands to best communicate. Is it like the Italians?
ResponderEliminarI think this is like Italians and also in Argentina is a lot of Italians descendants and maybe came from them.
