Cultural Misunderstanding.

This is reminding about a video clip that we watched in the HUMAN COMMUNICATION class. And the video's title was Fawlty's Tower.I have one video clip to share with you guys.It is much similar with what we watched in the class.But this will be a little different.There are some vulgar words in this clip,not to show a bad impact but to analyze critically what are the problem that they are having.

After watch the video all of you'll must be wondering what is the problem that the Italian man having and the pupil around him. In communication has two parts sender and receiver.The sender has a message he or she intends to transmit, and the person put it in words,which to tell the particular person,to reflect the thinking.But many things can intervene to prevent the intend message from being receive accurately.

In addition to how the message is sent, many additional factors determine how the receiver interprets the message. All new information we learn is compared with the knowledge we already have. If it confirms what we already know, we will likely receive the new information accurately, though we may pay little attention to it. If it calls into question our previous assumptions or interpretation of the situation, we may distort it in our minds so that it is made to fit our world view, or we may dismiss the information as deceptive, misguided, or simply wrong.

To avoid this situation to happen reconfirm with the speaker what does he or she wants and be 100 percent accurate while speaking and listening.
