I do communicate differently with people from other groups or culture. I have learned to become accustom to others sensitivity and demeanors. I enjoy interacting with people of different groups because I learn so many new things. I have always been taught not to limit myself to my comfortability so I don't. It is quite natural to watch my demeanor and actions according to my atmosphere.
For instance, in my work atmosphere I maintain professional at all times regardless of how comfortable I may be. I may be selective of what I say or do around parents or administration. I know that I am completely in my comfort zone when I am around my friends and family.
Three strategies that would help me communicate better would be applying the platinum rule, becoming sensitive to cultural differences and ways to limit cultural myopia when it is evident. Learning about these strategies this week really opened my eyes in recognizing what is harmful and helpful when establishing lines of communication.
