Answer: Project Bandra-Worli Sea Link and Challenges faced.
Bandra - Worli sea link has become a landmark for Mumbai city, it is among the most advanced and complex construction project ever in India. This project was conceived in 1990’s but it got delayed by 5 years due to which the cost got raised from approx. Rs. 350 crore to Rs 1306 crore and then to crore 1634 crore. It was a MSRDC project which has been executed by Hindustan Construction Company and illumination worth of Rs 9 crore has been done by Bajaj electrical. It is built over the Mahim Bay and connects Bandra (suburb) & Worli (central Mumbai). The sea link is 8 lane wide and length is 5-6 km, 3.8 km over the sea. The first four of the eight lanes were opened to the public on 30 June 2009 and all eight lanes were opened on 24 March 2010. The Sea link reduces the travelling time from 60-90 min’s to 20-30 min’s during peak hours.
The construction of Bandra Worli sea link project faced various challenges like: Opposition from fisher folks who resided nearby, construction challenges, technology challenges, location challenges, engineering challenges and concerns from environmentalist. Also the project was delayed by 5 years due to which the cost raised high from approx. 350 crore to Rs 1634 crore which meant high toll fee in coming years. Further there were challenges faced with the Planning and Implementation of the Project

...ransportation and navigation challenge: Experts had made judgment related to sea behavior, weather condition. However navigation and transporting 19 precast segments at different open sea location in 24 hrs was a challenge.
• Maintaining adequate food supply for workers and employees at site: Maintaining adequate food supply for workers and employees at site was also a big challenge. There were around 2500 people working in shift at 30 different location and arranging adequate and timely food supply was a big challenge.
• Language and culture challenge : There were also language and cultural challenge faced as there were people from different countries who had come together to work on this project.
Further there were other challenges like limited funds and working capital, limited time to execute and complete the work, weather conditions, legal challenges etc.

Lack of support from the Democratic Congress: To effectively complete any type of project, time and money are very important in order to solve any project risks. There was limited funding due to budgetary cuts and no support from the Democratic Congress.
A problem that could occur is a lack of capital. A lack of capital means less projects can be pursued unless more capital is raised. If more capital is raised the cost of capital will also increase which will lead to the acceptability of some projects changing. The second problem that could occur is capital rationing. The capital budget may be limited due to not wanting to relinquish equity or a lack of skilled

As anthropologists seek to understand the culture that they are studying they must overcome the language barrier. Similar to the concept of culture, “people use language to encode their experiences, to structure their understanding of the world and themselves, and engage with on...
In this cross-cultural mix, there will be cultural difficulties encountered by different members in these groups. For example, a young lady from Nigeria found it a little difficult to acculturate in Grenada because of the communication barrier that exist. She found it very difficult to gather information from her lecturers because of the manner in which they speak and pronounce their words.

In conclusion, Barna discusses the five stumbling blocks in cross-cultural, and I overall agree with the four stumbling blocks, which are the language, nonverbal signs and symbols, preconceptions
Humans have been communicating since four million years. On the other hand, the birth of culture is estimated to have taken place about 35,000 years ago. Today, both culture and communication have evolved considerably and have become interdependent of one another, to the point that communication is considered to be a product of culture. Thus, our own culture has a deep impact on our thoughts and behaviors. Since each culture has its distinct aspects, intercultural communication can be the cause of conflict and disorder. There are three main issues which are at the root of the problem of intercultural miscommunication : language as a barrier, cultural diversity and ethnocentrism. I will analyze these three notions in situations in which intercultural communication is frequent such as : the workplace, the classroom and vacation trips.

Society and the way it works has changed tremendously over the years. Business between countries has grown and connections have grown with it as well.The world is a boundless place full of many different cultures and has “roughly 6,900” languages around the world that are all unique in their own way (source B).
