Please select the best answer from the choices provided
Communication between separate cultures has been found to be quite difficult. Issues like ethnocentrism complicate these matters even further. Ethnocentrism is interpreting another culture through your own perspective/lenses. Cultural codes are words, symbols, or behaviors that have the intention of delivering a message, BUT are culturally and contextually bound. These barriers may not be fully impossible to break but they do call for a great amount of patience, open-mindedness, and understanding in order to be overcome.
