Explain the reasons why a “global village” may be referred to as an oxymoron. Why is it important to possess verbal and nonverbal cultural indicators in our globalized world? Then, describe a personal experience of intercultural interactions where you either successfully or unsuccessfully exercised verbal and nonverbal cultural skills. Using your knowledge of the cultural domains (religion, ethnicity/nationalism, modernization, and geography), in your assessment, analyze the situation within the context of the factors influencing globalization. Be sure to support your statements with evidence. [MO 2.3]
