Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hall identified two types of cultures: high-context (HC) and low-context (LC) cultures. In high-context cultures (e.g. Japan, China, and many Middle Eastern countries), communication tends to be implicit and indirect, relying on context (e.g. shared history, background, and cultural knowledge) to convey meaning. This is in contrast to low-context cultures (e.g. the United States, Australia, and many European countries) where communication tends to be explicit and direct, relying more on the literal meaning of words. Therefore, communication tends to be implicit and indirect in high-context cultures, including HC.
