HW (3/4) - Team Work

Based on the cultural dimensions provided by Edward T. Hall, make a comparison regarding the intercultural communication between your own culture and that of your teammates. Highlight some methods of improving intercultural communication based on the problems that may arise between you (wrong decoding of the verbal / nonverbal message, prejudices and stereotypes, the tendency to evaluate according to your own "grid", anxiety about the "new", etc.).

You have the following table as a support:
