Code usage: assembling the constituent parts of communication into a culturally appropriate message. Working things through and sending and receiving the message depends on culture such as eye contact, body language. The study of rhetoric is the study of ones persuasiveness. Aristotle: using all the available means of persuasion. Ethos: ethical appeal, or the value of one"s authority and knowledge. Logos: logical appeal, or the value of evidence and argument. Pathos: pathetic appeal, or the use of emotion to move a listener. 1 in japanese culture, silence can mean truthfulness, social discretion, embarrassment and defiance. Japanese proverb: an open mouth means an empty hand. As in many aspects of intercultural communication, communication styles align very closely along the individualist/collectivist, low context/high context distinctions. Direct-gets right to the point; has a tendency of focusing on the critical issue and indicating what one wishes to have happen. Indirect- suggestive; avoids explicitly addressing the issue, allowing the listener to.
