In America, speakers are usually the center of any communication. It is important for speakers to shape powerful messages, built up sources, and polish their skills of conveying. In contrast, the infinite interpretation is the principle of Chinese communication (Cheng, 1987). It means that the emphasis is most likely to put on the receivers than the speakers or sender.

Sparing him embarrassment.” In this case, the stress in put on both sender and receiver. For instance, when the East or Southeast Asian guests are having dinner in the American homes, they usually expect to be asked for what they want instead of helping themselves without being asked.

Miscommunication is a struggle that lives within the world everyday. Being able to understand what another person is trying to convey is an essential part of the way humans interact with one another.

All humans are created differently, with diverse upbringings, perspectives, and mindsets. Particular forms of communications may mean different things to various people. When talking about the concept of miscommunications, one must also address the concept of communication itself.
