Week 3 Blog
Three strategies I could use to help me communicate more effectively with people or groups of other cultures are learning more about other cultures, increase my listening skills, and respect other cultures. If I can learn about other cultures and what their different views are with religion, political affiliations, cultural beliefs and values, it could help increase communication and understanding of one another. Increasing my listening skills could help me with understanding other's situations. It could give me the opportunity to help others with problems they may have by listening to their situations and problem solving with them. Everyone needs to show respect for others and their cultures. We need to show respect for all differences and others views on situations.

Teresa - I think that your two points of listening skills and respecting culture go together. Only by understanding someone's culture do you know what to listen for. An example that comes to mind is that in Deaf Culture pointing is a part of communication but in other cultures pointing is considered rude. Knowing the cultural aspect of communication helps you "listen" more clearly.
