High and Low Context Communication

Research high and low context communication. High and low context communication is a style of communication that caters to people in groups that have similar experiences and expectations.

Many things are left unsaid in this style of communication and the context of the message is filled in by the persons understanding of the culture.

It is reasonable to assume that most police officers use this style of communication within their communities.

Determine how this could be a problem in communication between a police officer and a person who speaks English as a second language and in a 2-3 page paper in APA formatting describe how police officers can be trained to deal with this situation.
