At The Age of Humans we take language and communication and tare it apart, one question at a time. We decided to do so because we love curiosity so much. 
Warning: Thought-provoking ideas ahead.

The Age of Humans

When was the last time you made a joke? Would it be funny in other languages? What makes sense of humour specific to a culture? So many questions. Let's figure it out.

Episode 2: Sense of Humour

Music, food, customs, traditions, dance, language, and many more form a culture. The list can keep going, but new cultures can be overwhelming. That's why the cultural shocks. So? What do we do with all the information?

Intercultural communication. It sounds normal, right? But the relationship between culture and communication is a bit unclear for some. What was first? The egg or the chicken? The culture or the communication?

Episode 2: Culture and Communication - Independent or Interdependent

In our second episode, we discuss the communication between different cultures. A second way of categorising cultures is based on how they see the time. In this instance, we talk about monochronic and polychronic cultures.

Episode 2: Monochronic and Polychronic Cultures

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
