2.TheDefinitionofCross-culturalCommunication
Interculturalcommunicationreferstocommunicationamongpeoplewhoseculturalbackgroundsaredifferentfromeachother.Thereareseveraltypesofit,includinginter-racecommunication(which
isamongdifferentraces),inter-nationalitycommunication(whichis
amongdifferentnationalities)andinter-groupcommunications(whichisamongdifferentgroupofpeopleofthesamemainstreamcultureorsameethnicculture).Theculturalknowledgewhich
effectsthecommunication
ininter-groupcommunicationduetotheculturaldifferenceofpeopleiscalledcommunicativeculture.
Therearetwoimportanttheoriesaboutculturalpatternsininterculturalcommunication.OneisHall’stheoryofHigh-contextandLow-contextOrientation.TheotherisHofstede’stheoryofValueDimensions.

Culturealsodiffersintimeorientation;
thatis,whethertheculture’svaluesareorientedtowardthefuture(long-termorientation).Inchina,cultureswithalong-termorientation,valuessuchasthriftandpersistence,whichfocusonthefuture,areemphasized.InRussia,theorientationisshort-term.Valuessuchasrespectfortradition(past)andmeetingsocialobligations(present)areemphasized.
