GlobalMedia: Mr. Nice Guy: An Intercultural Communication Test [VID] (W7-P5) Sp17

Now that we've covered some of the barriers (bricks) to effective intercultural communication, let's test you by looking at a "reel" life example of intercultural communication and see what you spot.



This is a clip that I edited and posted on YouTube. I use this clip in my Intercultural Communication course to introduce students to the difficulties of intercultural communication.

In the clip Jackie's fiancée has just arrived in the U.S.

Is there intercultural miscommunication? What is the problem exactly? Whose fault is it? Is it right to blame somebody?

InterculturalCom: Pops and Why Study Intercultural Communication? (W2-P6) Fa16

It is imperative to study intercultural communication.
What does imperative mean? Imperative: "impossible to deter or evade” (Dictionary.com).

• Technological imperative - technology is increasing intercultural interaction
  • Communication Technology
  • Transportation Technology
• Demographic imperative (in U.S.)
  • U.S. Demographics (e.g., raise in Hispanic pop.)
  • Immigration
• Economic imperative (globalization) - to do well in business, it is important
• Peace imperative / "A Wonderful World" (see video below)
• Self-awareness imperative - as we look to better understand others, we also come to better understand ourselves.
• Ethical imperative - it is the right thing to do

How does this relate to the previous post about hazards and benefits?

“Human communication is the process through which individuals – in relationships, groups, organizations, and societies – respond to and create messages to adapt to the environment and one another” (Ruben & Steward).

What is Culture?

Culture is the set of shared knowledge that influences a particular group of peoples' thoughts and behavior (Hart).

Where is culture?
