Korean is one
of the homogenous society in the world. They have their own language,
culture, clothing, food, that different with their neighbouring
countries. They are proud with their traditional culture and their modern
economic success . Thus, they are following 2 type of context: high
context and low context .Its a choice to the culture's tendency to
use high context messages over low context messages in routine communication.
High Context
- In a high context culture, many things are left
unsaid, letting the culture explain. Words and word choice become very
important in higher context communication, since a few words can
communicate a complex message very effectively to an in-group (but less
effectively outside that group).
Low Context
- In a lower context culture, the
communicator needs to be much more explicit and the value of a single word
is less important.
