Week 5 Assignments
For the Inclusive Communication discussion we are looking at
Chapter 9 of The Ecology of Diversity (Kahn, 2015). It
showcases the need to bridge communication by demonstrating
that we respect and value each other’s differences. It offers a
variety of perspectives including listening and communication
skills. Have you ever been in a situation when you made use of
inclusive communication? What was the context and what was
your rationale for using this type of communication? How did
you avoid miscommunication or cultural clashes based on
language? Be sure to support the response with primary
academic research this week.
Watch this video, from our text, to get a better understanding of
how communication is affected by language.
We all have times where communication can be improved for
sure within our various relationships both old and new. This
week review some of the times when you were not the best
listener or you spoke too much versus the times when you
actively were present and listened to the person speaking. There
are times and places for all types of communication and
learning more about yourself and others around you can ensure
better communication overall.
In the written assignment Cultural Perspectives Draft this week
we will look at perception. We can all be in a situation together
and see it very differently. Just like a show or ride at an
amusement park. One person in the group might think it is the
best thing ever while others find it to be boring, scary, and sad
or something else. We all see things through our own lens based
on our experiences in life. I have some groups of friends for
example that I can count on for live music events while others
are not into that experience with crowds, loud noises and
traffic. You might have a breakdown of a relationship and one

Weekly Discussion 5
Inclusive Communication
Your readings this week showcase the need to use
communication techniques to bridge cultures and to demonstrate
that we respect and value each other’s differences. Conversely,
words can often be used in a divisive way.
Instructions:
Find two examples of when communication was used to bridge
two socio-cultural groups, and one example of divisive
communication. You may use examples from public media
(newspaper, radio, TV, etc.), but use at least one personal
example. For each example, describe the context, the content,
and the result of the communication. Your discussion post
should be at least three paragraphs long (350words).
Important notice for personal example: I belongs to the African
Ethnic Group (Yoruba Group). I’M black not Hispanic or
white. So, whenever you are trying to write personal experience
please relate it to a black African culture.
