Relationships between communication and culture
- 1. Relationships between communication and culture
- 2. The relationship between communication and culture is a very complex and intimate one. Worldviews, values and norms are three manifestations of culture which provide us with resources for making sense of intercultural interactions, culture is inspired by the communication of those in a community. Communication between humans enables others to adhere to or adapt different behavioral traits that create a common culture when shared by those in a particular group.Communication not only inspires, but is the foundation for culture.
- 3. Worldviews Worldviews are abstract notions about the way the world is, they are usually the premises upon which challenges and debates are conducted. Worldviews operate at an unconscious level so that we are not aware that other ways of seeing the world are either possible or legitimate, worldviews are a vital part of who we are but not a part we usually think much about.
- 4. Values Values are grounded in beliefs in ways about how the world should be rather then assumptions about the way the world is. The distinction between world views and values gets complicated when some values and world views seem to overlap or deal with the same thing.
- 5. Norms Norms are social rules for what certain types of people should and should not do.
- 6. Conclusion In conclusion there are three major ways for understanding the relationship and communication , those are- worldviews, values, and norms. Worldviews are shown to be very abstract assumptions about the way the world is. Values reflect not so much on the way the world is, norms were discussed as social rules on how people should act.
