Gestures: Gestures can be seen a lot when heated discussions are taking place and the message is important. but it is important to understand cultural norms so as not to unintentionally cause
Misinterpretations The way we interpret one’s body language greatly affects the way we view each other. One of the most important aspects of human interaction is body language, but how can one properly communicate with others without knowing how easy it is to come across misinterpretations? As an individual that experiences American, Haitian, and Montserratian culture, it is important to remember that body language is not always universal.

It is important to learn how to communicate well and how to build a healthy and positive interpersonal relationship with others. Like the textbook’ name “Looking Out Looking In”, we looked in the communication itself, looked out the language barrier, nonverbal messages and effective listening, and looked at relational dynamics. I learned and recognized about how environmental factors can impact our communication.
The Importance of a Company’s Culture The culture of a company is one of the most important and sometimes overlooked factors in an organization. The culture can increase employee engagement and increase productivity which will allow a company to reach its goals, “From productivity and engagement in the organization’s day-to-day, to an employer brand that naturally fuels recruiting efforts, to creating a lasting brand that customers immediately recognize, there’s no escaping it – culture radiates outward into the marketplace” (Straz 2015). The culture can have a great impact on the employees. Employees thrive in a positive working environment and the ability to engage with their managers without fear of retaliation.
The corporate culture also has an impact of the company's reputation and public
A culture, by definition, is a set of shared beliefs within a society; learning how to interact with people from different cultures is important in order to communicate and work with each other. It helps us become understanding of one another and widens our perspective of what the world has to offer. To be able to cross cultural communicate with others, the first step is to be aware that every culture is complex and has its differences.

There are multitudes of factors in various cultures that play a role in decision making, so being aware of the expectations that are influenced by someone’s culture will help you understand their choices.
Cultural Awareness: Russian Body Language We can assume that regardless of language barriers, the head gestures indicating a yes (up-down) or a no (side-side) can be interpreted and understood to be the same in all parts of the world as well as with other common body gestures. Here in the United States, we use a variety of different body languages to aid us in expressing ourselves when we engage in a conversation.

The same could be said by Americans if they see or experience the expressive movements made by the Russians.

As the group also had people from different nationals, I understood different cultures and connected with them. In the beginning, none of us had worked together, each of us came from a different academic background, had expertise in diverse fields and individualistic approach to undertaking projects. Individual commitment to a group effort is what makes team work. At the same time it proves to be an additional bonus for us as we avoid mistakes at work. There existed the cultural and language differences among the team members.
Conflict is a normal part of human interaction. Due to the differences in high-context and low-context cultures as well as the variation in verbal and non-verbal communication, there does not seem to be any gesture and manner of communication that have the same meaning in all societies. Furthermore, not many people have a profound knowledge in the communication styles of their partners. Misinterpretation appears and entails cultural conflict as a result.
