There are many cultural differences that affect communication and different ways of viewing them. One way is to consider context. High-context cultures are those that rely less on verbal communication and more on nonverbal communication, actions and settings to find meaning. Japan, India and the Middle East are examples of high-context cultures. Low-context cultures place a great deal of emphasis on verbal communication and don’t pay as much attention to other contextual clues. Examples of low-context cultures are the US, the UK and Germany.
