Context as a relativistic metric of culture

While the milieu of individuals in a culture can be diverse, & not all individuals can be described by strict stereotypes, understanding the broad tendencies of predominant cultures of this world can help us inform & educate ourselves on how to better facilitate communication between individuals of differing cultures.


How higher context relates to other cultural metrics

Higher context cultures are more common in the eastern cultures than in western, & in countries with low racial diversity. Cultures where the group/community is valued over the individual promote the in-groups & group reliance/support that favor higher context cultures. Co-existing subcultures are also conductive to higher context situations, where the small group relies ont their common background to explain the situation, rather than words.

A lower context culture tends to explain things further, and it is thought that this may be related to the need to accommodate individuals with a wide variety of backgrounds.


Voor zover ik weet zijn deze processen 't langst & meest intensief werkzaam geweest in 't nabije midden oosten dwars door al die tientallen eeuwen heen: vandaar de invloed van mydibijbelverhaaltjes, ballingschap, kolonisatie & evolutie?
