SHORT ANSWER: When going through the steps of the perception, the human brain wants to operate quickly and with efficiency. E.T. Hall discusses this as an urge to avoid “Information Overload”. Neuliep, your textbook author, also addresses the concept when he describes the effects of “Mental Economy”. I recently encountered similar perspectives in a webinar that referenced a human need to put things into categories. Although this way of using the brain with hyper-efficiency may start out as a useful, economical function, there can be negative, unexpected consequences–especially in Intercultural Communication contexts. What is one(1) such example of a negative impact due to this human tendency toward perceptual shortcuts? Be specific.

SHORT ANSWER: Sender / Receiver / Message / Feedback / Context / Channel / “Noise”(Interference) I expect that you recognize this list as the primary elements present in every communication situation (I call them the Big 7). As you know, basic communication competence in these elements is difficult, and communicating interculturally creates additional considerations and challenges. Give two(2) illustrations of an added Intercultural influence on these elements. Select “Context” & any other one(1) element from the list. Your illustrations should be concrete examples of special considerations for handling that element effectively when in an intercultural encounter. Imagine you are adding a segment to Edward T. Hall’s insights in Beyond Culture. Concrete example means you should cite something specific you have read about, observed, or experienced regarding how that element is impacted when it is in an Intercultural situation.
