Intercultural Competency: Managing Intercultural Conflict

Culture can enter conflict in a variety of places as shown in the diagram below.

Now, let's shift gears and look at conflict in a different way, by using a film clip.

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 concept of intercultural competence, especially in conflict situations.

The film clip wasn't about intercultural conflict, but how could you use Nash's idea to resolve intercultural conflict?



The film is based on a true story.
Background: JOHN NASH, Princeton math prof., played key role in game theory,
Game theory had important impacts on scholarly thinking in economics, international relations, biology, etc.
So, important, Nash won 1994 Nobel Prize

InterculturalCom: Intercultural Sensitivity and Competence: Bennett's Model (W13-P2) Fa16

According to the Bennett model, as people gain more intercultural sensitivity, they move through a variety of stages starting with Denial and possibility ending in Integration.

In each stage, people express a certain mindset or way of thinking about cultural differences.  The mindset of each stage is expressed in the quotes below.  In the first stage what is being denied?  In the Defense stage what are defensive about?  In the third stage what is being minimized?  Continue this line of questions with the remaining stages.

Not that the first three stages are labeled Ethnocentric.  How does this relate to our previous definition of ethnocentrism?

Last question and perhaps most important question, what stage are you in?  Does that depend?  On what?

InterculturalCom: Intercultural Sensitivity and Competence (W13-P1) [VID] Fa16

In order to work toward an understanding of intercultural sensitivity, let's start with a clip from South Park which shows Cartman travelling internationally to Costa Rica.

Is Cartman interculturally insensitive?  How?
What's it mean to be interculturally sensitive?
Can you think of another fictional characters that show this same type of intercultural insensitivity?
Is there a certain perspective/attitude?
Is there a particular set of skills?
How interculturally sensitive are you?
Can a person be too interculturally sensitive?
Relationship to politically correct (PC)?
