There is a natural tendency to find mates that are similar to us in a way. We may seek partners within our in-groups or those with who we share similar beliefs and values. In intercultural relationships, a different dynamic may be at play. Standards of beauty vary within different cultures, where stereotypes are set for those women or men who are deemed attractive. To what extent romantic love may play in choosing a mate can also vary among different cultures. Some tend to move into marriage when they are stable financially, while other cultures emphasize that their people should marry within their cultural boundaries. In some cultures, it is common to use a trusted intermediary who helps seek a partner (Jones, 2021). Arranged marriages can be successful, but some of the couples in such situations end up divorcing after they realize they aren’t into each other. Also, some cultures emphasize that their people should marry from their race. Interracial marriages can be stressful, and successful interracial marriages can give rise to a third culture that is a blend of the two cultures intertwining. 2. Fishman, J. A. (2019).

De Gruyter Mouton. – Cultural schemas and scripts 2 A speech remark can be received very differently according to the cultural tradition or cultural schema, that is the model that provides the guides to behavior in particular contexts. Consequently, certain people can react to compliments in varying ways. Some may downplay the compliment according to their culture, and some may be overconfident. In this case, it seems that culture has a key role to play in deducing meanings from scripts. Also, there are social situations that normalize the behavior applied in a language known as cultural scripts. These scripts provide guidelines on the way of acting and speaking which is learned through observation, experience, and cultural bounds (Fishman, 2019). For instance, in a public bathhouse in Japan, people of the same sex can go into a communal bath. For some people, the idea of public nudity may be shocking, but for the Japanese, it is acceptable according to their culture. Therefore, one may be aware of the expectations out of a conversation but may fail to act accordingly due to cultural schemas and scripts. 3. Simpson, A. (2019). Language and society: An introduction. Oxford University Press. – Gender and Communication According to research, different patterns of communication can be identified in both men and women. Men and women seem to convey different ways of communicating with people, which is attributed to their gender as influenced by the society. For instance, most young women in the US tend to use a vocal fry or deferential tones when communicating. However, such speech habits hold women back professionally in business settings where tone and language rules are set by men. Moreover, studies claim that in conversations, most women try to build rapport to establish connections, while 3 men exhibit knowledge and skill by sharing information. Therefore, men and women communicate subconsciously in different manners, without being aware of how their mindsets differ. To communicate well, they have to understand both communication styles and respect each other’s points of view. Also, due to a male-dominated society, women’s speech can often be undervalued. This sets cultural expectations that form standards for both men and women in society. Consequently, understanding the difference in communication in gender can be vital in intercultural encounters (Simpson, 2019). 4. Mooney, A., & Evans, B. (2018). Language, society, and power: An introduction. Routledge. – Communication in Personal Relationships As social beings, humans tend to build many relationships in the course of the their life. Their communication in this regard is highly founded on the number and kind of relationships they embrace. The language used in each relationship varies according to the purpose of the encounter. Religious beliefs and personal attitudes can play a major role in such cases. As the relationships grow, some may turn into friendships. Studies show that most friendships are formed based on the commonality of interests and values. This is evident in online communities, especially in the internet era we are currently in. As most relationships thrive, most people reveal certain information about themselves as they grow closer. The communication grows from shallow topics to more personal subjects. How friendship is understood varies differently too among various cultures. It might take less time or longer to initiate and build a friendship according to certain cultures (Mooney & Evans, 2018). Also, the friendship may be based on mutual respect, 4 understanding the needs of one another, positive sharing of information, or building social connections according to the type of culture. 1 Please write the body of the paper which is based on the introduction that you wrote last time.

This tells us that there are different societies among English speakers and each has its language. Society and language are a match, made in heaven. Language is more than spoken words. Each society has its language composed of spoken words, behavior, and practices. Spoken words may be common among a vast majority within a huge geographical location, however, behavior and practices become more unique to each society. Language is part of life as people use it to interact and understand one another: it is the only way to express and understand each other’s feelings and ideas. People use language to communicate with 2 each other in all social interactions and communicate to others through either written or spoken form. As such, language completes society by ensuring communication considering that there is no society without communication. Just as a car runs on fuel and the body uses blood to keep running, a society without language is dead. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that society and language are inseparable using three concepts of identity, culture, and conflict management in marriage. Reference Godwin-Jones, R.
