Cultural Communication

Do you find yourself communicating differently with people from different groups and cultures?

I don't intentionally consider my conversations before I have them. However, I have noticed since studying this topic that I communicate differently with my students than I would with a co-worker. I also communicate differently with the low income community members that I work around than I would with my middle class family or the upper class, educated citizens of the town I live in.  

If yes, in what ways do you communicate differently? 

For example, I would never consider having a conversation about problems with my communities pool maintenance with a mother from school who can barely keep her lights on. Cultural sensitivity is being able to identify where some communication is appropriate and some is not. You wouldn't speak to your mother the same way you speak to your best friend.
