Writing Around the World: A Guide To Writing Across CulturesWriting Around the World: A Guide To Writing Across Cultures

Cultures use different writing strategies because they strive for different goals. Some cultures rely on writer responsibility while other cultures rely on reader responsibility. Writer responsibility emphasizes clear and concise prose, actions over subjects, practical implications, and follows a deductive logical structure. The latter emphasizes flowery prose, subjects instead of actions, theoretical implications, and follows an inductive logical structure. The differences between both responsibilities help explain why some cultures prefer clarity when other cultures prefer complexity. The problem is that both writing styles are perfectly acceptable, but only within their given context.
