These cultures are known as High-Context cultures.
Asian, Arab or Latin American countries are examples of cultures considered to be high-context cultures.
To communicate effectively in these cultures, one must have a considerable amount of background information on the subject being discussed.
Several factors can be easily identified in most of the high-context cultures:
Interaction: It plays a fundamental role, as the nonverbal elements are vital to understanding each other. The voice tone, facial expressions, and even the eye movements can completely change the meaning of a sentence.
Association: A relationship takes time to develop, and depends heavily on trust. People's identities are strongly bounded to groups such as family, workplace, friends, etc.
