Aleksey, a citizen of an Eastern European country, has come to the United States to major in business administration at a large university
With reference to the communication process, what is some of the ?noise? he will encounter as he attends class?
What will be an ideal response?
Noise refers to anything that can distort the message being communicated. For an international student studying business in the United States, noise may include:
1 Cultural differences – Aleksey is from an Eastern European country where there is no history of capitalism or a free-market economy. This concept may be difficult for him to comprehend.
2 Language – Although many Eastern Europeans have learned English as a second language, the language is not uniformly used. Words are pronounced differently and often have different meanings throughout the English-speaking world. Aleksey may have difficulty understanding fast-paced lectures. He may also have difficulty participating fully in team-based projects.
3 Non-verbal – Aleksey will possibly misinterpret many non-verbal cues, including cultural norms, body language, and informal professor/student interactions.
