Culture and Communication-The Relationship Between communication and culture, characteristics of Culture.

The author explains how culture works in relationships, groups, organizations and societies; furthermore how communication spreads culture around the world, its characteristics.

Culture in relationships, groups, organizations and societies, according to the author, differ in a common way. For instance, while a couple may share some activities, these will be different in an organization. I had a cousin, and when she met her future boyfriend, she adopted one of his habits. They shared going cycling, so they do it every weekend now. Therefore, they are developing a custom. In addition, when she was working, every 19th day of the month, she and her co-workers went to a restaurant and shared all kinds of anecdotes about the experiences with their customers. This was a nice meeting style, according to her. They were also developing a custom.


Now, referring to communication, or how this is known by others, I would like to say that words are the essence of communication. A good example will be my cousin’s story. She told me this while I was working on this reaction. I wrote it, published it and you will read it. For all these I need the Internet, and the sweetest thing of communication is speech. So, this is a good example of how the relationship between communication and culture improves its spreading. So, culture needs communication to be known and that is what societies now are trying to apply as human interaction to spread all their customs, beliefs, habits, and so on.

Moreover, all this culture has beautiful characteristics. Culture is a difficult and it is changing constantly. Each relationship, group, organization and society works on the development of the invisible culture, which characterizes it. I have an easy example to explain it. To continue with the cousin’s story, I had another cousin who shared a totally different activity with her boyfriend. Instead of going cycling, each weekend they watched a marathon of movies. So, if in relationships there are these differences, imagine between societies, while in Costa Rica men can just have one wife, in the Middle East they have more than one.

In conclusion, that is how culture works in relationships, groups, organizations and societies, and how it has been spreading around the world, with all its characteristics
