Communicating Effectively......

This week we were asked to

"For your blog this week, complete the following activity:

Think about the cultural diversity you see in your colleagues at school, in your neighborhood, in your workplace, and also, possibly, within your family. Consider all the aspects that make up culture, including race, religion, political affiliation, sexual orientation, varying abilities, and so on.

Do you find yourself communicating differently with people from different groups and cultures?
If yes, in what ways do you communicate differently?
Based on what you have learned this week, share at least three strategies you could use to help you communicate more effectively with the people or groups you have identified."


My family is made up of different races, nationalities, and cultures. There is African American, Caucasian, Native American, Caribbean,and Hawaiian. My childhood was full of learning different cultures, recipes, and etc. Because of this I am open and welcoming to different cultures.
To answer these questions, I do not find myself communicating differently with people from different groups or cultures. I believe that one way that people could communicate more effectively is to treat others the way they would like to be treated.
