Among Cultures synopsis

Among cultures: the challenge of communication, the third explores intercultural communication and the relationship between communication and culture, using narrative as a common and compelling platform for studying intercultural interactions. This text is based on the position that people understand their worlds by selecting novels and narrating them for themselves and others, and this text is full of novels and stories.

The chapters address key aspects of intercultural communication, including verbal and nonverbal communication; stereotypes and prejudice. Identity; conflict; diversity; and morality.

Using an interpretive approach to intercultural communication, text helps students to understand that although a person may seem different, his or her general sense is perfectly reasonable within a particular context of interpretation. Resources are included to help students understand and explain the reasonableness of other cultural systems.

The text includes activities for students to complete during reading, including self-assessment and non-verbal self-knowledge tests. The questions of meditation are encouraged within each chapter and at the end to think and discuss each topic.

With this unique approach to the study of intercultural communication through factual narratives, this text facilitates a deep understanding of the cultural aspects of communication. In providing stories of others, students are encouraged to tell their own stories and build a strong foundation for intercultural communication. New in the third edition: A new chapter - "What role does culture play in contemporary contexts?" - Explore intercultural communication as it relates to environment, health and technology. New sections on identity, silence, and title conditions are important communication practices in intercultural environments.

Updated sections on titles, basic terms, social series and golden approaches to ethics.
