General Communication
Under general communication we have to consider ways in which people communicate. If I speak to a customer I immediately have to consider their level of understanding, age which could influence their level of knowledge and experience, culture so I don’t say something it could be deemed offensive, language to insure they understand what I say in English if I am better speaking slowly, etc. Include cultural differences such as understanding someone you are communicating with might have a different native language then yours
