From the Paper:

"With the spread of globalization and increased multiculturalism, it is not uncommon to hear people speaking various languages (i.e. Mandarin, Spanish, French, and Punjabi) while walking down Yonge Street in Toronto, or Robson Street in Vancouver, or even St. Catharine's Street in Montreal. Culture impacts the way people communicate regardless if it is verbal or nonverbal such as a dinner guest burping out loud after finishing a meal."
