THE NEED TO STUDY INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION

=== Slayd 2 ===
– achieving your major- willingness to spend time overseas or enjoying spending time with an exchаnge student at your high school or in your community. - found the class surprisingly interesting
What is your reason for studying intercultural communication?

=== Slayd 3 ===
Peace;
Demographic;
Economic.
Six imperatives or reasons for studying interculturаl communication. They are:
Technology;
Self-awareness;
Ethics.

=== Slayd 4 ===
Conflicts;
Politics;
Religion;
Human rights;
Climate change;
Wealth, medical care;
food, water, and mineral resources.
The Peace Imperative

=== Slayd 5 ===
Understanding intercultural communication principles would not end conflict, but there is a need for all of us to learn more about cultural groups other than our own if we wish to be competent communicators.
The Peace Imperative

=== Slayd 6 ===
The peace imperative begs the question as to whether individuаls of different races, ethnicities, languages, and cultures can exist together on this planet?  If so, what does that look like? If not, what does that mean? Ultimately, people, and not countries, negotiate and sign peace treaties.

=== Slayd 7 ===
Age;
Race;
Ethnicity;
Economic status;
Educational status etc;
Characteristics of a population.
The Demographic Imperative

=== Slayd 8 ===
Migratory populations escaping from climate and economic issues are crossing borders in record numbers. Borders are becoming more fluid as countries go on land grabs in neighboring territory. The demographic imperative is not
only about immigration though, it’s also about change. As demographics change, culture changes.

=== Slayd 9 ===
heterogeneous
there are differences in the group, culture, or population
homogeneous
there are similarities in the group, culture, or population
nativistic group
extremely patriotic to the point of being anti-immigrant.
Diversity
the quаlity of being different.

=== Slayd 10 ===
You have probably observed that your world is increasingly diverse. This increasing diversity comes from changing countries’ demographics and more global interaction of people.

=== Slayd 11 ===
To compete and be effective in the global market, an accurate understanding of the economies and ways of doing business around the world is crucial. The interdependence of our world market in consumer goods, services, labor, and capital has been dramatically illustrated by the shortages produced by the COVID pandemic. Formerly efficient supply chains were disrupted.
The Economic Imperative

=== Slayd 12 ===
E.g. Dell laptop

codesigned by engineers in Texas and Taiwan;
the microprocessor was made in one of Intel’s factories in the Philippines, Costa Rica, Malaysia, or China;
the memory came from factories in Korea, Germany, Taiwan or Japan.
other components (keyboard, hard drive, batteries, etc.) were made by Japanese, Taiwanese, Irish, Israeli, or British firms with factories mainly in Asia.

=== Slayd 13 ===
Cross-cultural trainers in the United States report that Japanese and other business personnel often spend years in the United States studying English and learning about the country before they decide to establish operations here or invest money. In controst, many American companies provide little or no training before sending their workers overseas and expect to close business deals quickly, with little regard for cultural idiosyncrasies.

=== Slayd 14 ===
So many businesspeople have difficulty succeeding in Chinese and other Asian markets because of both differences in business practices and cultural differences between East and West.

=== Slayd 15 ===
Ambler and Witzel (2000) explain that business dealings in China, as in many Eastern countries, are relationship oriented, that businesses cannot succeed without respect and harmony. Specifically, in China, three concepts are crucial:
Qingmian (humаn feelings), which involves respect for the feelings of others;
He (harmony), which emphasizes the smooth functioning of a group or society;
Guanxi (relationship or cannection), which underscores the importance of relationships in Chinese business.

=== Slayd 16 ===
Today, with the explosion of computers and other communication technologies, we truly live in the global village. Communication technology links us to events from the most remote parts of the world and connects us to people we may never meet face-to-face from around the world. Perhaps the most revolutionary advancement has been the Internet.
The technological imperative

=== Slayd 17 ===
Information has become so easy to access and manipulate that we are now confronted with the impact of fake news and purposeful disinformation along with the closely related economic issue of the digital divide. The digital divide refers to people who grew up with access to technology versus those who did not have access to technology and did not develop the associated skills.

=== Slayd 18 ===
Ethical principles of conduct help to govern the behaviors of individuals and groups. Generally, there are two basic ways that humans apply ethical values to behavior — universally or relatively.
The Ethical Imperative

=== Slayd 19 ===
As a relativist, you believe that no behavior is inherently right or wrong, rather everything depends on perspective.
As a universalist, you believe that cultural differences are only superficial, and that fundamental notions of right and wrong are universal.

=== Slayd 20 ===
Although an individual may want to “do the right thing” to contribute to a better society, it is not always easy to know what is “right” in specific situations. Ethical principles are often culture bound, and intercultural conflicts arise from various notions of what is ethical behavior.

=== Slayd 21 ===
One of the most important reasons for studying intercultural communication is the awareness it raises of our own cultural identity and background. This is also one of the least obvious reasons. Peter Adler (1975), a noted social psychologist, observes that the study of intercultural communication begins as a journey into another culture and reality and ends as a journey into one’s own culture.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION!

=== Slayd 23 ===
Living in another country widens your horizon. It makes you appreciate the things you have, and it strengthens the family unit. You look at your country from a different point of view. We have learned nat to expect everything to be the same as “at home” but if we happen to find something that reminds us of home, we really appreciate it and it makes us very happy. Ultimately we are all very thankful that we had the opportunity to live in another country.
Erla, a graduate student from Iceland, notes the increased knowledge and appreciation she’s gained concerning her home country:
