This poses many challenges for people from different cultural, ethic and religious backgrounds to live together as one congruent South African society. In this environment communication is critically important to achieve common understanding. Very few people in South Africa truly understand how to communicate taking diversity, cultural, ethnic and gender sensitive aspects into consideration.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Do you agree? Yes or no?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;What challenges do you experience in this arena? We'd love you to share your comments. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Nicci Columbine, MD, Columbine Communications&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5101604191203531621-7640042304632067117?l=columbine-columbinecomms.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://columbine-columbinecomms.blogspot.com/feeds/7640042304632067117/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5101604191203531621&amp;postID=7640042304632067117' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5101604191203531621/posts/default/7640042304632067117'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5101604191203531621/posts/default/7640042304632067117'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://columbine-columbinecomms.blogspot.com/2007/10/south-africa-is-undergoing-significant.html' title=''/><author><name>Columbine</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16024339429970695365</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
