Each of these can differ from culture to culture. Nonverbal ways of communicating such as waving your hands may communicate different things: in one culture, it may serve as a greeting while in another it may serve as way of getting others to come near. The ways and reasons that people communicate may differ from culture to culture: for example, some groups use communication to build relationships while others may focus more on simply imparting information. Some cultures may be less forthright in discussions than others. The ways, purposes, and styles that groups communicate differ, and critical thinkers take care to be aware of these differences.
