This assignment requires you to explore how your cultural and ethnic background influences your communication, particularly focusing on nonverbal cues. You will analyze your personal experiences against scholarly literature, responding to specific questions about cultural impacts on communication. Submissions must be well-organized, cited in APA format, and include interactions with classmates' posts.

1. Assignment 1: Culture and Communication
In this assignment, you will explore your own cultural and
ethnic background and analyze how this background may affect
your communication. A great deal of a message is
communicated not through spoken words but through the
nonverbal channels. Culture and personal experience can play a
large role in the transmission and interpretation of nonverbal
messages. You will reflect upon your personal experience from
the viewpoint of your cultural and ethnic affiliation(s) and
compare it with the scholarly literature relevant to your cultural
and ethnic background.
Tasks:
Watch the video,
Empathy Training for Ethnic and Cultural Awareness
. Afterwards, identify your cultural and ethnic background. In
your response, answer the following questions:
In what ways do you feel your culture affects the way you
communicate? (For example, eye contact or the lack of eye
contact has a cultural component and can be interpreted as
defiance or something similar by those unaware of the cultural
context.)
Provide an example of how your culture has influenced
nonverbal communication.
Discuss how nonverbal communication could influence whether
or not a message is perceived accurately.
How is someone from a different cultural background likely to
perceive your message?
