Cross culture communication

Culture is the behaviour of human beings acting as groups and as individuals in a community. Communication between these communities is called cross culture communication. It is basically a challenge for communication process as a barriers; less knowledge of other culture creates distraction between communicators during the process.
Modern societies are confronted with communication problems caused by cultural misunderstanding and cultural contrast. Intercultural trainings try to solve such problems by developing strategies to train personnel and private person for working abroad, dealing with migration or accomplishing projects in multinational teams.
One example for a cross-cultural communication strategy is "the contrast-American technique"[1], developed by the Human Resources Research Office (HumRRO) and the actor Cajetan DeMello.
