Explain how understanding and assessing culture can improve your own communication. Describe you own culture and share with us what makes you who you are.

Your culture can be related to race, ethnicity, gender, age , nationality, religion, sexual orientation, media preferences, hobbies, religion, etc.

Try not to focus on just one of these aspects of yourself, but instead utilize as many cultural elements as possible (what interests you) Think about both style (how you speak) and content (what interests you)

How does your culture affect your communication with those in your own culture and those from other cultures?
