COM-3551: Intercultural Communication

Technology has compressed the world into a global village composed of myriad international and nondominant domestic cultures. Communication between cultures is essential but complicated by different contexts, values, expectations, and perceptions. This course examines different theoretical and practical approaches to the complexities of both verbal and nonverbal communication across cultures. Theoretical approaches include the communication styles of various nationalities and examine issues such as dominance, gender, religion, prejudice, time, distance, and silence. Practical approaches include the understanding how people from different cultures interact effectively in the work and home and environments and examine issues such as working in global teams and multicultural living arrangements. The concept of the global citizen is explored and applied to present day lifestyles and viewed through the perceptions of a variety of cultures.
