Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In high-context cultures, people rely heavily on nonverbal and subtle situational cues in communicating with others, and a person's official status, place in society, and reputation carry considerable weight. What is not said may be more significant than what is said. In contrast, in low-context cultures, people rely essentially on spoken and written words to convey meaning; body language and formal titles are secondary.
