Communication is a topic that is viewed differently based on culture. When communicating with others it is necessary to communicate differently based on the particular culture. When I observe my children in my classroom I notice how differently communication is displayed based on culture. When dealing with kids that speak in other languages I have to speak a little slower and I normally get on my knees face to face so that I am on their lever. I notice when communicating with kids it is important to get eye level. This shows them that you are engaged with what they are saying. When I am talking with other cultures that are adults I normally have listen more that speak. The reason I do this is to learn traits of new cultures. Sometimes if necessary I use a translator to ensure that I understand and can communicate effectively.
Effective communication is so necessary to when dealing wtih other cultures.
When I saw this picture I wanted to use it to display the importance of communication. We live in a diverse society and it is so important teach our children how to effectively communicate with each other. If we work hand and hand we can work together. Communication is key to crossing cultural barriers.
