cultural universals in society....

A cultural Universal that its all around in society is language.I Say this because theirs a lot off people in The American society that speak different languages and they may know how to communicate with others or they may not.If they are struggling communicating with someone they find their way to communicate by doing signs with their hands or by  pointing to things.This is a cultural universal because everyone in society has a language they speak or share with others by having the language in common.

In my work place, there was a Spanish  lady who didn't know how to speak English so when Americans would got buy things at my job she didn't know how to communicate with them so she would tell me to tell them the amount of money they would own or if they had a question i would answer them back.If i wasn't there she would try to make signs to communicate with them.So a cultural universal is taken place at my job because everyone in there have a language that they speak.

  1. I'm glad you're there to help your coworker out. Language is definately a universal, and it's interesting to see what happens when different languages are used and the clash that may result from this.
