Journal Entry5

goodnight.
I am a Nigerian. My culture impact the way i communicate in different ways.communication is based on understanding and so i speak a language that is understood by people which is english.my culture help me to use communication to meet my social needs, to enhance and maintain my sense of self, to develop relationship,to exchange information and also to influence others. My culture influences my verbal communication because even though there are lots of indegenous languages,the slang know as brokeing language is understood also by the special community. We use low context culture, that is our words are detailed, direct and specific. Our markings,sign of language and type of meanings is properly understood.
My culture influence my non verbal behaviour in that as a Nigerian,your dress sense means something. The language spoken tells a lot about you.Your physical structure,hairstyle,gestures and illustrators tells a lot about you.
Your facial expression, eye contact, posture helps to know how attentive and respectful you are.  Thankyou
