Weekly Blog--Week 2

Today in class, we did an exercise that I found to be especially interesting. We revised an e-mail that a business owner sent out to new employees from Hong Kong. The original e-mail included American slang and other improper phrases that could be confusing to people of another culture. I enjoyed revising the e-mail so that the new foreign employees could comprehend the message better. I found this interesting because I enjoy studying the cultural differences in communication. In fact, I am doing a research experiment in another one of my classes about physical and verbal communication and how different ethnic and cultural backgrounds influence it. I look forward to study these differences further in business communication class this semester.
