What can happen in communication when cultural differences are not understood?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Misunderstanding and discomfort may occur.
Cultures may differ in greetings, gestures, personal space, eye contact, tone, and conversational expectations. If these differences are ignored, a behaviour or phrase may be interpreted in an unintended way, causing discomfort or misunderstanding. Respectful questioning and feedback can reduce the problem; cultural difference does not automatically speed communication or simplify language.
