Intercultural Interview & Paper
Instructions:
You will interview at least two people who belong to cultural groups other than your own and who themselves are from different cultures so that you may reflect on and analyze your intercultural communication competence as well as the importance of cultural diversity awareness. (My culture is an appalachian/christian/caucasian background)
As part of your analysis, you should apply concepts from your studies. Specifically, you should draw on your knowledge of the Five Dimensions of Culture, as presented by Engleberg and Wynn (2015) and how they affect intercultural communication, as presented in the Communication and Diversity lesson.
As part of your analysis, be sure to include at least three different perspectives when analyzing the Five Dimensions of Culture. These perspectives should include those from each of your interviewees as well as your own, to allow for the analysis of at least three different cultures. (Mine, Interviewer 1, and Interviewer 2.
