What is the different cultural listening?(2)
Each type of listening has its unique application, and effective communicators often switch between these types depending on the context and their objectives.
Silence Listening (African cultures): In many African cultures, silence is a significant part of listening. It involves giving space and time for the speaker to articulate their thoughts fully without interruption. This form of listening is deeply respectful and allows for thoughtful reflection before responding.
Each cultural context brings unique nuances and practices to listening, enriching the ways in which people can connect, communicate, and understand one another.
