The story of Doc and Suzy whereby they use high context culture in their communication to point out their weaknesses as well as fear in their lives is something that I once experienced in my life. I once meet John in a restaurant for a cup of coffee. This meeting was meant to discuss our progress in our careers. In the first thirty minutes the meeting was so interesting and enjoyable. We managed to discuss a number of issues that affected our careers and lives.

In the process of our discussion we started pointing out our weaknesses and failures in life. The discussion turned out to be a war of words. John did say that I was destined to fail in my career due to my lose behavior of sleeping around with women. To counteract his accusation I told him of his unethical behavior of engaging in illegal transactions within the work place.
I reminded him of the murder that he did take part in with an aim of hiding the truth. I wish I had not uttered this statement as it made John worried and withdrawn from the discussion. His mood suddenly changed and he left the restaurant in a hurry. This one of the most crucial experience in my life that I can relate with the story of Doc and Suzy.
