If a person from a high-context culture and a person from a low-context culture were dating, which of them would be more likely to watch for and react to nonverbal cues from the other person about what he or she wants and is feeling, and which of them would be more likely to provide or ask for verbal communication of feelings or desires? Explain your answer.
What will be an ideal response?
The person from the high-context culture would be more focused on nonverbal communication, and the person from the low-context culture would be more focused on verbal communication. People from high-context cultures are usually more similar to one another, so they do not need to be explicit with their messages. People from low-context cultures use explicit messages to be sure very little is left open to interpretation.
