歌詞
In a world of cultures, far and wide,
We build cultural competence, with every stride.
Avoiding ethnocentrism, we learn to see,
The beauty of cultural awareness, so free.
Chorus:
High-context culture speaks without a word,
While low-context culture lets the facts be heard.
Through non-verbal communication, we express,
The power of silence, in its own finesse.
Verse 2:
Cultural norms shape the way we live,
But cultural barriers we must forgive.
With intercultural sensitivity, we grow,
And cultural relativism lets us know.
Chorus:
High-context culture speaks without a word,
While low-context culture lets the facts be heard.
Through non-verbal communication, we express,
The power of silence, in its own finesse.

Power distance shapes how we all agree.
Through interpersonal communication, we strive,
In communication styles, we come alive.

With contextual factors, we read the room,
Cultural identity makes us bloom.

But code-switching helps us bridge the life.
With tolerance and active listening, we’re clear,
Building cultural intelligence, year by year.

In collectivism, the group leads the way,
While individualism makes us want to sway.
We fight stereotyping and prejudices too,
In cultural diversity, we find what’s true.

Through socialization, we understand,
In face negotiation theory, we make a stand.
Negotiation styles differ far and wide,
But cultural etiquette brings us side by side.

Emotional expression shows feelings true.
With cultural shock, we learn to cope,
And cross-cultural communication gives us hope.

While low-context culture lets the facts be heard.
Through non-verbal communication, we express,
The power of silence, in its own finesse.
