Assignment:
You need to make a comment on my class mate's discussion post. At least 75 words.
While completing the Pearson essay on Business and intercultural communication, I begin to notice past mistakes I have witnessed in previous emails. Effective communication is so important in today's businesses, ineffective communication can greatly effect your business in several areas. Workplace friction happened in my office over a joke, which the majority of the people on the email chain thought was funny except the person the joke was about. what created the conflict was we didn't;t know the person had been assaulted as a child, The choice of words the senders sent was in a sexual tone and affected this female employee in a upsetting way.
This conflict could have easily been avoided if the sender would have been considerate of others in the office and on the email chain, the sender should haven't used or forwarded sexual jokes. This reminds me of ethics in communication, we must consider what the message we send will have on the people to whom you send it: "Ensure the one of your message is always professional while taking cultural and diversity consideration into account"(Pearson 2015a).
