Cross-Cultural communication: Challenges and strategies for avoiding misunderstandings

Different cultures have different ways of communicating, and this can lead to misunderstandings in a multicultural context.

The Art of communicating according to cultures Different cultures have different ways of communicating, and this can lead to misunderstandings in a multicultural context. For example, the pause observed between each speaking turn is three tenths of a second for the French and five tenths for the Americans. The French also tend to speak fast and interrupt their interlocutors, while the Americans…

I wholeheartedly believe that if MP100 took place in Brazil, Mob would be nicknamed as "Zé", as:

it's a reduced form of José, which is the most generic male name in the country.

Because José is generic, Zé is used in many idioms related to individuals who are considered unimportant, such as "zé povinho" (simple person, 'of the people'), "zé ruela" (a passive/slow person) and "zé ninguém" (someone whose name is not relevant enough to know, a loser).

Thus, a single "Zé" is used as its own idiom, one that means "someone who is anonymous, insignificant or gullible".

1/3 I hope you're having a good weekend, sorry this got so long. I know it was just a tag but I just had to vent a bit after seeing your "we live in a dick worshipping society" comment because it's so true. I feel like it's such a big part of why liberal feminism is moving away from criticising porn and instead trying to ignore all of the abuse involved by focusing on token "empowered independent sex workers".

thank you! its been pretty alright so far :)

yea idk what else much to add to this other than you're totally right and its maddening and infuriating. its vile to see how males getting off and getting what they want is more important than.... just about anything else on this planet. god fucking forbid youd ask them to care more abt some of the worst shit this species can do over their own pleasure and satisfaction. and liberal feminisms general obsession w placating men in so many things is one of its consistent and most dangerous downfalls - so much sexist shit being held up as good. really think dworkin said it best. if we stop now girls in the future will be told pornography is good for them. pornography is a graveyard where the left has gone to die

How Broadway’s ‘Maybe Happy Ending’ Star Darren Criss Makes Robots Human by Embracing the ‘Beep-o-Boop-Bop’

In his latest Broadway project, Emmy winner Darren Criss (“The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story”) and his co-star, Helen J. Shen, play retired, robotic “helperbots” in the near-future love story “Maybe Happy Ending.” And although it might seem like a challenge to find the emotion in an android, Criss is finding that more he plays with the artifice of it, the more relatable his robot becomes.

“The trepidation I had was: Well, how do we do this without it being too cartoony? You know, like ‘beep-o-boop-bop,’ for lack of a better description,” Criss said in a conversation with Shen on the latest episode of “Stagecraft,” Variety’s theater podcast. “The irony of all this is that the more ‘cartoony’ — the more you lean into this heightened beep-o-boop-bop — the more believable it is. … I’m almost playing this commedia dell’arte character. There’s a level of theatricality that exists within these robots that actually helps us understand the story quicker.”

“The wonderment is something that I’m really resonating with in both of these characters,” Shen added. “They’re living in these helperbot yards and they have been isolated for decades, so to be able to connect with each other, connect with the world, and see that the world is bigger than just this one window is something that I feel like we all can relate to.”

Written by the crosscultural duo of the Korean writer Hue Park and his American collaborator Will Aronson, “Maybe Happy Ending” first premiered in Korean in Seoul, where the show has become a successful staple since it premiered in 2016. Now the musical has arrived Stateside — in an English language version also by Aronson and Park — in a technologically ambitious staging featuring intricate projections and a highly mobile, automated set.

But both Criss and Shen said that the high-tech surroundings and A.I. protagonists are just the means to telling a story about love and loss in an accessible way. “They’ve made this about robots, but obviously it’s a very, very human story,” Criss said.

I love this artistic trend with Hatsune Miku of different countries. Actually. Extremely popular characters in crosscultural AUs in general. Mexican Evangelion cast. Arab Goku. Brazilian Woody Woodpecker. I like how this type of art makes a lot of people feel happy and seen and comfortable with their own cultures in a reality in which there is a tendency for specific world powers having disproportional influence over the rest of the globe. Yes feel proud of who you are and of where you are from : )) ! Your experiences are as important as everyone else's!!
