'''[[w: | '''[[w:Low context culture]]''' and the contrasting '''[[w:high context culture]]''' are terms presented by the anthropologist '''[[w:Edward T. Hall]]''' in his '''book Beyond Culture'''. Low context culture refers to a culture’s tendency not to cater towards in-groups. An "in-group" is defined by the authors as being a discrete group having similar experiences and expectations, from which, in turn, inferences are drawn. Low context cultures, such as Germany or the United States make much less extensive use of such similar experiences and expectations to communicate. Much more is explained through words, instead of the context. ( Wikipedia ) | ||
