I am a 40-year-old white woman. These three elements define my co-cultures. From my standpoint, I would describe my co-cultures as low-context. According to Beebe, Beebe and Redmond (2016) low-context cultures defines those cultures where a communicator must be entirely explicit for the recipient to understand the message, and a single word exudes the least of meanings without elaboration. Less information come from environmental and nonverbal cues (96). Explicit explanation of messages makes low-context cultures to be regarded as wordy in their communication. I consider my co-cultures low-context given that, for instance, women are known to use more words in explaining their positions in comparison to the men. The motive behind such elaborate communication lies in the need by women to be understood entirely. Similarly, as people grow old, their level of communication deteriorates, thus, a 40-year old is less likely to communicate effectively in comparison to a 20-year-old. Therefore, such a person will need to explain their perspectives explicitly. Additionally, my co-cultures are masculine, which implies that people emphasize on the normative roles for both men and women (96). The male roles, in particular, concentrate on such values as success, competition, and money. As a masculine culture, my culture focuses on the need for power, wealth, dominance, material success, as well as assertiveness. Correspondingly, success equals money, thus, communication is oriented towards aspects of success and money which are considered to derive more meaning for masculine cultures. Gender discrimination specifically targeting women has been a major concern in my community given its masculinity.
