Answered by Examlex AI CopilotTwo characteristics that identify a norm as "important" are its widespread acceptance and its impact on behavior.
For example, the norm of respecting personal space is important because it is widely accepted across cultures and has a significant impact on how individuals interact with each other. Another example is the norm of honesty, which is important because it is widely accepted as a moral standard and has a significant impact on trust and relationships.
Norms are an integral part of the social fabric. Identify two of your Norms and describe when you noticed that those norms are not the same for everyone.
(29) Answered by Examlex AI CopilotOne of my norms is punctuality. I was raised to believe that being on time is a sign of respect and responsibility. However, I have noticed that not everyone shares this norm. For example, I have friends who are consistently late to our meetups, which can be frustrating for me.
Another norm of mine is the importance of honesty. I believe in being truthful and transparent in my interactions with others. However, I have encountered individuals who are more comfortable with bending the truth or withholding information in certain situations. This difference in norms has led to misunderstandings and conflicts in some of my relationships.
How do you respond when you encounter someone with communication that reflects different Worldviews, Values, or Norms than your own? Has your response changed since learning more about these cultural communication influences?
(42) Answered by Examlex AI CopilotWhen encountering someone with communication that reflects different worldviews, values, or norms than my own, I respond with an open mind and a willingness to learn. I try to approach the situation with curiosity and a desire to understand where the other person is coming from. I ask questions, listen actively, and try to see things from their perspective.
Since learning more about cultural communication influences, my response has definitely changed. I now have a greater awareness of the impact of cultural differences on communication and the importance of being sensitive to these differences. I am more mindful of my own cultural biases and try to approach cross-cultural communication with humility and respect. I also make an effort to educate myself about different cultural norms and values, so that I can communicate more effectively and respectfully with people from diverse backgrounds. Overall, my response to encountering different cultural communication has become more informed and empathetic.
