In our second episode, we discuss the communication between different cultures. One way of distinguishing them is based on how specific the context is. But what do "high" and "low" really mean?

Episode 2: High and Low Context Cultures

Le pâté de lapin
Alix, le petit lapin de garenne, vivait heureux à l’orée du bois proche de la ferme. Quand l'hiver est arrivé, la nourriture s'est faite rare et Alix avait grand-faim.
II s'est aventuré jusqu’à la ferme et a rencontré trois petits lapins blancs qui se régalaient en compagnie des poules. Il a été invité à manger et ce repas l'a réjoui.
- Reste donc avec nous, ont proposé les trois lapereaux. Tu verras, la vie est belle et sans souci.
Alix a passé deux jours inoubliables à la ferme, mais alors qu'il questionnait le chien au sujet du contenu de son écuelle à lui, le gardien de la ferme, celui-ci lui a répondu :
- Un reste de pâté de lapin, mon ami. Un régal !
Alix s'est enfuit à toutes pattes pour ne plus jamais revenir.
