INTRODUCTION:
INTERCULTURE COMMUNICATION:
Intercultural communication describes communication between at least two people who
are different in significant ways culturally. For instance, a conversation between a boy who grew
up in Nepal and a girl who grew up in Punjab would probably be an intercultural conversation
because we could study how the different cultural backgrounds of the two people affect their
communication strategies towards each other.

BARRIERS TO INTER-CULTURE COMMUNICATION:


Following are the barriers which we are going to represent through our play.

Feelings and Emotions:


Differences in culture and communication styles can even cause fear. Japan typically keep a tight
control of their emotions, while Italians and French are more comfortable showing their feelings. Loud
talking might embarrass an Englishman. Another example is that like Punjabi people show their
happiness with dance. Similarly, Pathani people express their joy with loud gestures.

Negative Stereotypes and Prejudices:


Stereotypes and prejudices about people from other cultures can cause communication
problems and give offense. Ethnocentrism, or a belief that your own culture is better than that of
others. For instance in our play the Punjabi mother in law have a thinking about her Chinese
daughter in law that she didnt like her culture food and she always treat her culture nothing.

Language Differences
Language differences are an obvious barrier to intercultural communication. If you speak
only English and a shopkeeper speaks only Japanese, you won't be able to communicate
verbally.in our play as we belong to different culture having different language facing difficulty
in facing each other and not finding any solution to communicate effectively because we are
preferring our culture as a superior culture as compare to other.

Body Language and Gestures:


People sometimes take offense because of differences in body language across cultures. For
instance like in our play as we know that in every culture there are some unsaying gestures which
differentiates one from another. Similarly goes with pathan girl who feel like a shy, reserved on the
other hand Punjabi girl are outspoken and bold. Furthermore like Chinese girl are more like to be have a
cool attitude where Arabic girl are more likely to be a symbolic hand gestures.

PROBLEM:
In one or two families sometimes the people living together under one roof are practicing
different culture or norms and mostly of them didnt try effectively to at least adjust with each
other in order to live a happy life. They all think that they are the superior and they belong to the
best or appropriate culture and no other culture have that impact as compare to theirs. Obstacles
like language differences, feeling and emotion and Negative Stereotypes and Prejudices are the
main factors to communicate effectively and to live a happy life.

happen to all of you? I am seeing this from morning you all have only one thing to do fighting

not a matter of life and death. This problem can be solved you have to find a common ground a

understandable way communicate with each this language so you can understand each other and
one more thing communication is not from language its from heart.
