culture-跨文化交际学
❖ Anthropologists most commonly use the term "culture" to refer to the universal human capacity to classify, codify（[‘kɔdifai] 把(法律)编成法典） and communicate their experiences symbolically.
❖ 2.1 From the perspective of sociology
❖ "The total, generally organized way of life, including values, norms, institutions, and artifacts, that is passed on from generation to generation by learning alone"
❖
-- Dictionary of Modern Sociology
❖ "Culture stems from the development and transmission of human belief in symbols”. "The language system is a series of symbols used to transmit cultural beliefs among members of a society“. "Messages about cultural expectations can be found in the media, government, religious institutions, educational systems, and the like.”

3.2.1 High-Context
A high context (HC) communication or message is one in which most of the information is already in the person, while very little is in the coded, explicitly transmitted part of the message. In high-context cultures, people are very homogeneous with regard to experiences, information networks, and the like. High-context cultures, because of tradition and history, change very little over time.
3.1.3 Power Distance
The premise of the dimension deals with the extent to which a society accepts that power in relationships, institution, and organizations is distributed unequally. People in high-power-distance countries believe that power and authority are facts of life…Social hierarchy is prevalent and institutionalizes inequality. To people in low-power-distance countries, a hierarchy is an inequality of roles established for convenience.
