Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pat's attitude represents cultural noise, which is created by differences in values, beliefs, and attitudes among communicators from different cultures. Pat's insistence that everyone speaks English in America disregards the fact that America is a multicultural society, and shows a lack of appreciation for cultural differences. This creates a barrier in communication with Jose and Lupe, who may not feel comfortable speaking English all the time and may feel offended by Pat's attitude.
