As a result of this activity, participants will be able to: 1. "Understand the difference between high and low context communication styles. 2. Experience the potential misunderstanding that can occur when a high context and a low context communicator try to communicate. 3. Identify tools for avoiding misunderstanding between high and low context communicators" (Stringer & Cassiday, 2009, p. 137).
