Answer to Question 1

Decoding is the process of translating the received symbols into the interpreted message. The main causes of incongruence are: 1. the receiver misinterprets the message, 2. the receiver encodes his or her return message incorrectly, or 3. the sender misinterprets the feedback.

Answer to Question 2

One not-for-profit group, called Business for Diplomatic Action, has the following advice for Americans when doing business abroad, in its attempts to counteract the stereotypical American traits such as boastfulness, loudness, and speed. Familiarize yourself with the local geography to avoid making insulting mistakes; dress up; avoid talking about wealth, power, or status; avoid using slang and speaking fast; listen as much as you talk; and refrain from discussing religion and politics.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
