Different countries will have different cultural perspectives, rituals and product usage. M&S may struggle with the understanding on how to operate a business in the emerging market, as M&S which origin from UK may not know the cultures of other countries, such as China. M&S will first need to understand the local cultural background of the countries, in order to sell the goods and services effectively (tutor2u, 2012). Thus, cultural differences will be faced when doing business in emerging markets. Furthermore, the disadvantage of emerging markets is the economic risk.
An ethnic community is a group of people who reside in the same area while maintaining similar culture regardless of the location of the community. When speaking of culture, you could divide it into two parts: material culture and non-material culture.

Even in speaking. Everyone also has his or her own interpretation of how someone is talking. In the article “The Power of Words” it states how “studies reveal that we place our attention toward words differently depending on our own biological or personality traits”.

Within the United States of America, there have been various art forms emerging from marginalized groups that have been at the forefront of art history. Among these have been African American theatre, Latinx theatre, Queer theatre, and Asian American theatre. Each one of these encompasses a large variety of people and several cultures, languages, and religions that comprise the label placed upon them. For example, within Latinx theatre are works influenced by Columbian culture or Afro-Latinx people to name only a couple. Within the diaspora of Asian American theatre, history has primarily focused on the art form as it emerges from East Asian and Pacific Islander cultures.
For this task I am going to discuss theories of communication which will be formatted in a booklet. I will also explain Argyle’s communication cycle and Tuckman’s group interaction. Argyles communication cycle When communicating with one another people must come to terms by trying to have an understanding of what the other person is trying to say.

By using a contradictory statement it captures one 's attention and makes them ponder on the statement until they gain an understanding of it. The snowman is an example of this, it shows a pure and innocent moment of unity that many take for granted. “The colder he became, the more he melted” (316). People do not notice others until they are in pain. They do not realize the suffering a person has gone through to try to survive in order to obtain a moment of happiness.

Cultural appropriation has been used throughout history to imply messages in both art and design. Often used in political art, satire and contempary art, this type of insinuation uses popular symbols of a culture or sub-culture (these symbols often stem from stereotypes so that they can be understood by the masses) to further layer an artwork or imply a deeper meaning by hinting towards a characteristic of said culture. The key to identifying appropriation is whether these symbols and signs are being used out of their original context.

The purpose of the Japanese Empire to hold the show was to pick things for reference among the old culture of Joseon so that Joseon public people realized the benefits of new administration by comparison and contrast of old and new administration. By drawing the image of the difference between Joseon monarchy and colonial rule as old and new, pre-modernism and modernism, stagnation and progress, barbarism and civilization, it revealed the incompetent Joseon monarchy to justify the colonization of the Japanese Empire and to brag about their authority to Joseon people with the legitimacy of the Japanese Government-General of Korea.
