Studying intercultural communication is important for several reasons: the peace imperative suggests cultures need to coexist peacefully; the economic imperative notes the increasing diversity in workplaces and global economy; and the demographic imperative highlights how immigration is increasing diversity within countries like the US. Intercultural communication also matters for self-awareness and ethical reasons, as learning about other cultures can provide self-reflection and a sense of social justice.
