Shared
Meaning
Definitions
Communication
The creation of shared meaning.
Intercultural Communication
The creation of shared meaning
across cultural contexts.
Definitions
Race
“Genetic” heritage (e.g. skin color); a “social
construct”, not based on biology but “created”
Ethnicity
Describes one’s cultural background
Definitions
Diversity
Often understood as numerical
representation of difference in people,
viewpoints, and experiences
Definitions
Diversity
“The fact of human difference, that may make
a difference – in how we interact with one
another, with communities, and institutions.”
- N.Abdul-Wahid
Definitions
Inclusion
Diverse people, viewpoints, and experiences
are “heard” and counted. Belief that this leads
to better solutions and moves us towards the
goal of equity.
Definitions
Equity
Addresses disparity of resources
and how resources are structurally
allocated to marginalized communities.
Definitions
Culture
Shared patterns that help us make meaning
of our environment and determine
appropriate behavior.
“It’s just the way we do things around here.”

ICEBERG MODEL OF CULTURE
Describe the Picture
DIE Model
D Describe
Information Gathering stage:
Objective analysis and articulation based
on observation
“What you see”
I Interpret
Information Processing stage:
Subjective analysis and articulation
based in large part on individual
cultural/personal opinions and cultural
experiences
“What you think you
see “
E Evaluate
Determination stage:
Assignment of value judgment based on
Descriptive and Interpretive information
“What you think
and/or feel about
what you think you
see”
DIE Model
Think about a time when this happened at work, here or
elsewhere, where the lack of cultural observation
contributed misunderstandings, unintended bias, and/or
miscommunication.
How would your knowledge of the
DIE Model impact how you would
approach this situation?
