Cultural Barrier
Culture is values and principles followed in the lives of people living in society. It is the sharing of customs,
rituals, beliefs, ideas, art, knowledge, values, morals, ideals, etc. amongst people living in their own geographically
restricted areas.
• As mindset of people of different cultures are different, so is their language, signs and symbols. This causes a
barrier to communication.
• Culture also gives rise to prejudices and stereotypes. These become the societal norms, thus becoming a barrier
to effective communication amongst people of different cultures.
• Different cultures adopt different ways of communication. For example, some cultures may be very open while
others may be orthodox, thus affecting ways people communicate among various cultural sects. For example, in
Arab countries it is considered to be a social crime to greet an opposite gender by shaking hands.
