areas and has different backgrounds and experiences. Apart from this every individual has
its own perspective and mindset that might not matches with others. Moreover in the
London tube this challenge is also faced by many people and travellers regarding their
different view point. In terms of this there are some people who were tourist and enjoy
their leisure time in the City where is the common Londoners travel in the tube in order to
reach at some place and travel to their destination. Apart from this few people are very
enthusiastic in order to explore themselves within the city and some of them are annoyed
and exhausted because of their work. Hence the difference in the perspective of these
people can become the major problem and leads to develop tension among the people who
travel within the tube.

and leads to develop faculty in order to understand the unfamiliar tone and voice. The
people who travel in the London tube are the local citizen and some of them are tourist
who belongs from other countries and Nation which describe that language reference
occurs among these individual because the tourist does not aware about the foreign

start the communication and transfer the message its prominent receiver. The sender is
recommended to take care of the content of message and also so irresponsible to
prominently frame it in the understandable language and accent. In terms of this the
people of London should start the conversation with tourist in order to help them
because they are unaware about the language and tone of people. Moreover they also
need to keep in mind that there tone and accent does not hurt the feelings of receiver.
Therefore the sender need to make sure that the message is prominently convey in brief

and impossible to understand by each and every individual no matter how much there
knowledgeable and skilled as they need significant experience in order to suitably
understand the various culture of the various places. Despite from this the cultural
differences create a lot of problem in the effective communication if both the people in
the communication process belong from different places.

significant negotiation process. Hence these are the situations that are faced by the
Londoners and tourist as well in order to travel in the London tube and both act as a
negotiator and try to prominently develop relationship with each other. In terms of
negotiator an individual need suitable respect for each other’s culture instead of judging
