High context culture; Low context culture, Anyone?!

The big difference.

In Singapore and many Asian countries, we were brought up in a high context culture. Asians tend to be more conservative, the usual lady-like etiquettes. How not talking, being demure, no-one-will-say-u're-dumb-if-you-not-talk "saying" and only dumb people talk alot.

In my opinion, I feel this is irrelevant to any etiquettes. Different people have different perception and we can't force our perception onto them.

I prefer low context culture, because it is more lively. It gets me in my mood. A happy and lively mood because there is always something to say. American can never run out of things to say. I feel that's amazing because how can anyone talk so much without repeating any of their stories twice?

I also know for a fact that people who are brought up in a high context culture (or vice versa) can't get along with the other party.
