Humon as we are all aware is present in every culture or groups and its context also varies across culture as well. The same is often true, that Jokes do not often translate into what we expect, due to differences in social structure and cultural norms. Often, there is no universally accepted manner of Joke, and the same is true that what is funny in one culture may not be amusing in another culture, - according Michelle Brenner, (2016).

It may not be necessary to move to another country to have a taste of a cross cultural experience, because in today world, our home, work and school and shopping mole are all –contexts of diverse cultures. Cross cultural management is taught in business as well as management schools but not in international market arena, but in relation to managing teams within any organization. Often, culture evolves from like-minded groups or individuals as a shared values and experiences. It is true we have common share history with meaning, but often we do taken for granted, that which evolve into a complex culture.

It is also true that to mediate between two conflicting groups, it is not always necessary to know the in-and-out of all the cultures as to be able to act as mediator. Because it is a part of our business to know of the very dynamic of culture, context, and communication, as well as how this impact on conflicts. Therefore, the key to cross cultural communication is through the dynamic of directional awareness, of whether the communication is moving toward constructive or destructive direction. For instance, when a communication is moving towards a destructive direction, take a breath and see if the cultural differences in meaning is been overlooked and at what level from one party as seen as critical factor by the other party.

It must be observed that often, there is culture shock in crises of knowing that one is shocked into unexpected different awareness. This is always the moment one may feel out –of depth and aware that something is terribly wrong. Then comes the culture stress which is a term used to describe the overload of information which occurs as we relate to a new culture. But culture stress is more of a long term adaptation. In order to communicate in comfort, we must communicate and relate to be taken for granted with a sense of knowing and been known, which does not required a lot of attention.

It is often true that when there is ongoing attention and awareness, it required to grasp what is really taken place or happening to avoid being unable to just take for granted the meaning, because of being met with dissonance or finding ourselves in the cold. The period of adaptation required information processing that may be stressful like -“an air traffic controller” (ref. -M. Brenner).

According to Anthropologist Edward T.Hall-(1951-1955), - “what one pays attention to and what one does not attend to is largely a matter of context”…And contextual awareness is developed through culture. According to him- “Almost everyone has difficulty believing that the behavior they have, is always associated with human nature, but is not with human nature at all but a learned behavior”- Opcit.

And according to Darley and Bateson, 1973, “context determines human behavior more than personality”. This same is true because being in hurry is often the very reason to walk past a person lying on the pavement without caring, which means the context of being in a hurry is the reason rather than a personality who is not caring.
