Cross-Cultural Communications
C. Based on Video 2, how does cross-cultural communications address workplace conflicts and
diversity barriers?
- Because it shapes how people think and act, having distinct cultures, languages, beliefs, and
religions from other countries or places can occasionally generate conflict for individuals who
lack knowledge of them. These elements may operate as obstacles when people of various
cultures converse. It is challenging since different cultures have distinct mindsets and use
different languages, signs, and symbols. The transmission of culture occurs from generation to
generation. The culture you were raised in has an impact on how you communicate. The inverse
is also accurate. The way that we communicate greatly influences culture.

restaurants, hotels, and airlines. By doing so, communication is improved, and skills are
developed. Additionally, by having a varied consumer base, businesses are able to outperform
rivals.
