Answer: High Context Culture

Explanation: High Context Culture depends on indirect, or implicit communication and non - verbal signs. Unlike low context cultures, whereby communication is mostly done through language and other explicit communication, communication in high context cultures is sent out in contextual ways such as through a person's tone of voice or their body language.

Characterisitcs of High Context Cultures can include (but not limited to):

Relationships rely on trust and develop slowly.

People who live in this culture often prefer living and functionng in groups, so they can learn from one another.

People don't mind standing close to one another, therefore the space is communal.

Non verbal cues include: gestures, facial expressions, eye movements to name a few. These are important as a form of communication in this culture.
