Provide examples from the document to illustrate.Please share the document by posting a link or a PDF of the sample used.

B- “one cardinal rule governs all on-the-job writing: Write for your reader, not for yourself”. This requires a solid audience analysis. As part of this analysis, you must also consider the audience's cultural background, particularly in light of today's global society.

describe additional considerations you need to make when dealing with a global audience or an audience from a culture different than your own. Feel free to choose a specific country or culture to analyze for this part of your response.
