    The document identifies 5 key barriers to effective communication across borders: 1) Language used can be too technical or use jargon, 2) Beliefs about what is correct to communicate can differ across cultures and offend others, 3) Communication styles vary in their level of directness, detail, and generality, 4) Some cultures like North Americans sequence agenda items one by one while others may not, 5) Demographic backgrounds like age, culture, gender, or status can filter how messages are understood differently.

    Purposive Communication – PC15

    Barriers to Effective Communication across Borders

    1. Language used.
    a. People have lots of expertise and use jargons on their specific area. Being too technical
    makes it vague to others. Be natural on way of speaking make them understand what
    you wanted to say.
    2. Beliefs about what is correct to communicate.
    a. Beliefs may be positive or negative but the important thing to take note is that we
    usually live our lives according to it and hence it is important not to infringe on others’
    values/beliefs so as to avoid offending them.
    3. Communication Style
    a. Some people are direct and others are indirect when approaching someone. Some use
    detailed ideas, while some are in general.
    4. Sequential cultures
    a. Like North American, English, German, Swedish, and Dutch businesspeople, they give
    full attention to one agenda item after another.
    5. Demographic Background
    a. Age, culture, gender, or status backgrounds are filters. A certain generation might
    understand what you are talking about in a certain way.
