Question: In section 2.2 of your reading this week, culture is mentioned as a major influence in the way we perceive situations, events, and even other people. We are socialized into various cultural identities since birth; therefore, as we travel (or move permanently) to another geographic location, we can expect to experience quite a few communication barriers. Other than the language barrier itself, what other factors can contribute to communication problems like communication apprehension? Next, what are some ways in which individuals can overcome the tendency to categorize people as "like us" or "not like us" and bridge communication gaps.
