THERE ARE 10 QUESTIONS OF MULTIPLE CHOICE IN YOUR TEST. EACH QUESTION HAS 4 ALTERNATIVES (A, B, C, AND D) FROM WHICH ONLY ONE IS CORRECT. CHECK THE CORRECT ONE.
A Framework
for Understanding Cross-Cultural
Misunderstandings
Successful communication between human
beings, either within a culture or between
cultures,
requires that the message and meaning
intended by the speaker is correctly
received and interpreted by
the listener. Sustainable error free
communication is rare, and in most human
interactions there is some
degree of miscommunication.
The message
sent from speaker to listener
contains a wide array of features, such as
words,
grammar, syntax, idioms, tone of voice,
emphasis, speed, emotion, and body language,
and the
interpretation requires the listener to
attend to all of these features, while at
the same time constructing
an understanding of the speaker's
intentions, emotions, politeness,
seriousness, character, beliefs,
priorities, motivations, and style of
communicating. In addition, the listener
must also evaluate whether
the utterance is a question or a statement
and how and to what extent a statement
matters to the
speaker (Maltz and Borker, 1982).
Each
of the components of the communication
provides one or more kind of information.
Words
convey abstract logic, tone of voice conveys
attitudes, emotions and emphases, and body
language
communicates "requests versus commands, the
stages of greeting, and turn-taking"
(Schneller 1988, p.
154).
Even assuming that words and body
language
were perfectly understood, there is more
information necessary to successfully
communicate across cultures. For example, in
some countries it is
polite to refuse the first few offers of
refreshment: "Many foreign guests have gone
hungry because their
U.S. host or hostess never presented a third
offer" (Samovar and Porter 1988, p. 326). In
understanding
communication, a listener must pay attention
not just to what is said and when, but also
to how many
times something is said, under what
circumstances, and by whom.
Given all this
complexity, the reason human
communication can often succeed is because
people
learn how to communicate and understand
through interacting with one another
throughout their lives.
Therefore, it is no surprise that culture
and socialization are critical determinants
of communication and
interpretation. "The entire inference
process, from observation through
categorization is a function of
one's socialization" Detweiler (1975).
Socialization influences how input will be
received, and how
perceptions will be organized conceptually
and associated with memories.
The importance of
culture to communication
Some theorists have gone so far
as to claim
that culture not only influences
interpretation, but
constitutes interpretation. The
interpretation of communicative intent is
not predictable on the basis of
referential meaning alone. Matters of
context, social presuppositions, knowledge
of the world, and
individual background all play an important
role in interpretation (Gumperz,
1978b).
Even knowledgeable translators can
have
difficulty with cross-cultural translations.
There may not
be corresponding words or equivalent
concepts in both cultures, jokes and
implications may be
overlooked, and literal translations can
present a host of difficulties. Some
language pairs are very
difficult to translate, while others,
usually in more similar languages, are much
easier (Sechrest, Fay and
Zaidi 1988).
While some of the incremental
difficulties
can be traced to the underlying linguistic
commonalities
between the languages, there may be a more
elusive cultural and ecological basis for
difficulty in
translation. It would be interesting to test
how much of the variance in communication
could be
accounted for by the ease with which the
languages in question could be translated
into one another.
Although it may
facilitate cross-cultural
translations, similarity of languages and
cultures also
increases the likelihood that communicators
will erroneously assume similarity of
meanings. This may
make them more likely to misunderstand
speech and behavior without being aware that
they may have
misinterpreted the speaker's message.
In general,
cross-cultural miscommunication
can be thought to derive from the mistaken
belief
that emics are etics, that words and deeds
mean the same thing across cultures, and
this miscalculation
is perhaps more likely when cultures are
similar in surface attributes but different
in important underlying
ways. In this case miscommunication may
occur instead of non-communication.

Read the following text and answer question based on the text
A Potential Solution: Farm Vertically
The concept of indoor farming is not new, since
hothouse production of tomatoes, a wide variety of
herbs, and other produce has been in vogue for some
time. What is new is the urgent need to scale up this
technology to accommodate another 3 billion people.
An entirely new approach to indoor farming must be
invented, employing cutting edge technologies. The
Vertical Farm must be efficient (cheap to construct and
safe to operate). Vertical farms, many stories high, will
be situated in the heart of the world’s urban centers. If
successfully implemented, they offer the promise of
urban renewal, sustainable production of a safe and
varied food supply (year-round crop production), and
the eventual repair of ecosystems that have been
sacrificed for horizontal farming.
It took humans 10,000 years to learn how to grow
most of the crops we now take for granted. Along the
way, we despoiled most of the land we worked, often
turning verdant, natural ecozones into semi-arid deserts.
Within that same time frame, we evolved into an urban
species, in which 60% of the human population now
lives vertically in cities. This means that, for the majority,
we humans are protected against the elements, yet we
subject our food-bearing plants to the rigors of the great
outdoors and can do no more than hope for a good
weather year. However, more often than not now, due to
a rapidly changing climate regime, that is not what
follows. Massive floods, protracted droughts, class 4-5
hurricanes, and severe monsoons take their toll each
year, destroying millions of tons of valuable crops. Don’t
our harvestable plants deserve the same level of comfort
and protection that we now enjoy? The time is at hand
for us to learn how to safely grow our food inside
environmentally controlled multistory buildings within
urban centers. If we do not, then in just another 50
years, the next 3 billion people will surely go hungry,
and the world will become a much more unpleasant
place in which to live.

Generation Y
By Sally Kane, About.com Guide
Born in the mid-1980's and later, Generation Y legal professionals are in their 20s and are just entering the workforce. With numbers estimated as high as 70 million, Generation Y (also -1- as the Millennials) is the fastest growing segment of today's workforce. As law firms compete for available talent, employers cannot ignore the needs, desires and attitudes of this vast generation. Below are a few common traits that define Generation Y.
Tech-Savvy: Generation Y grew up with technology and rely on it to perform their jobs better. Armed with BlackBerrys, laptops, cellphones and other gadgets, Generation Y is plugged-in 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This generation prefers to communicate through e-mail and text messaging rather than face-to-face contact and -2- webinars and online technology to traditional lecture-based presentations.
Family-Centric: The fast-track has lost much of its appeal for Generation Y who is willing to trade high pay for fewer billable hours, flexible schedules and a better work/life balance. While older generations may view this attitude as narcissistic or lacking commitment, discipline and drive, Generation Y legal professionals have a different vision of workplace expectations and prioritize family over work.
Achievement-Oriented: Nurtured and pampered -3- parents who did not want to make the mistakes of the previous generation, Generation Y is confident, ambitious and achievement-oriented. They have high expectations of their employers, seek out new challenges and are not afraid to question authority. Generation Y wants meaningful work and a solid learning curve
Team-Oriented: As children, Generation Y participated in team sports, play groups and other group activities. They value teamwork and seek the input and affirmation of others. Part of a no-person-left-behind generation, Generation Y is loyal, committed and wants to be included and involved.
Attention-Craving: Generation Y craves attention in the forms of feedback and guidance. They appreciate being kept in the loop and seek frequent praise and reassurance. Generation Y may benefit greatly from mentors who can help guide and develop their young careers.
