Introduction
Intercultural communication between persons from varied cultural practices and environment has always been and probably will remain an important necessity of human co-existence on earth (Chi, 2016)
According to [Lippmann, 1922] (Clausen, 2006, 43), “In the great blooming, buzzing confusion of the outer world, we pick out what our culture has already defined for us, and we tend to perceive that which we have picked out in the form stereotyped for us by our culture.”
Communication is part of intercultural communication, and in order to communicate effectively, it is important to use language sufficiently. Also culture is part of intercultural communication, Matsumoto(2008) defined culture as “a meaning and information system that is transmitted across generations.” Thus culture influence on perception can be explained by three steps consisting of selection, organization and interpretation.
