Stumbling blocks The essay, “Intercultural Communication Stumbling Blocks,” by LaRay M. Barna tells the story about communication barriers that occur between people who belong to different cultures. Barner has highlighted several barriers to intercultural communication in this article. First, that language is one of the main barriers to intercultural communication since people cannot communicate when they don't understand what the other person is saying. Second, nonverbal signs and symbols are also barrier to effective intercultural communication since different cultural groups interpret signs and symbols differently. Also, perception and stereotypes are barriers to effective communication since they lead to misunderstanding and hence avoidance.

Some of the challenges that arise when communicating with different cultures are difference in communication styles, attitudes towards conflict, decision-making styles, and approaches on tasks.

Effective communication requires special attention and consideration from each party. When cultural barriers exist, one must rely on nonverbal communication to relay the correct message.
Although when looked at its obvious that all humans are quite similar however each individual is unique and different in many ways (Scarr, S 2008). Even twins have differences between them (Baker, A & Daniels, D. 1990), however alike they seem. These differences are due to many factors such as different cultural backgrounds and been brought up in environment that have provided us with different outlooks, values and perspectives alongside with different likes and dislikes. Everyone has different likes and dislikes and different ways of looking at things (Heap, M & Dryden, W. 1991). These differences are what make us all unique because of these differences people have different ways of dealing with certain situations, different coping mechanisms and various levels of openness or resistance.

Criticisms from supervisors and peers often are met with emotional listening resistance.
In our society there are large groups of people living with the difficulties of racism, profound fear, hopelessness and loss. This makes the area of intercultural counselling increasingly important and relevant. Other mainstream counselling approaches do not give us the opportunity to explore the impact that race and identity has on the counselling process. It also provides us with a way of investigating the concerns that we all share regardless of our heritage or background. In our multicultural society we need to learn to live with difference in a constructive way.

Cultural differences – when the same thing means different things in two cultures, communication can be difficult. Some cultures find eye contact very rude and defiant whereas other cultures find it polite and respectful. Emotional difficulties – we all have emotional difficulties at times and become upset.
