5. Communicating across Cultures.pptx
This document discusses cultural differences that can lead to miscommunication in international business contexts. It provides examples of unintentional verbal and nonverbal gaffes made by people from different cultures. Effective cross-cultural communication requires understanding how factors like social norms, thought processes, nonverbal cues, context, and perceptions of time vary between cultures. Misinterpreting gestures, violating personal space norms, or failing to understand different communication styles can all introduce "noise" that undermines clear transmission of meaning between parties from diverse backgrounds. Managers must do their "cultural homework" to communicate appropriately when interacting with those from other cultures.
Benefits of Learning the Italian Language at a Young Age.pdf
Learning Italian at a young age provides several cognitive, linguistic, and cultural benefits. It can boost brain function, improve language proficiency, and foster cultural understanding. Young minds easily acquire new languages, so exposing children to Italian through online courses, tutors, or language schools allows them to become bilingual with long-term advantages for their education, careers, and worldview. Being multilingual is also linked to reduced risk of cognitive decline later in life.
DEVCOM
DEVCOM refers to developmental communication, which is the art and science of human communication applied to economic and social development. It uses communication to promote development by diminishing poverty, unemployment, and inequality. DEVCOM is a process that involves transmission of messages from sources like the government to receivers like people in rural areas, with the goal of disseminating information about priorities like food production, health, and education to spur development. As a process-oriented form of communication, DEVCOM writers must translate technical concepts into understandable terms and use visual aids to explain complex ideas to target audiences. School publications also have a role to play in DEVCOM by disseminating government development programs and fostering national identity.

INTRODUCTION
Cultural intelligence (CQ) is a person’s ability to function effectively in a diversity of cultural circumstance whether domestically or intentionally. In all our cultures we have the idea of what is going on around us since we have a wealth of information most of which is in our subconscious minds thus helping us make sense of what we observe and experience. When we interact with people from different cultural background, the same prompts may have an entirely different meaning. Personal cultural intelligence has helped me to handle cultural diversity: the set of skills, abilities and knowledge needed to understand, recognize and adjust to changes in the culture. Through personal cultural intelligence training I can now critically scrutinize the meaning of my culture system and how it has influenced my assumptions, expectations and interpretations. This has helped a great deal in coming to acceptance that of the validity of the different world views. With high cultural intelligence we get a more comprehensive and inclusive manner of looking at the world. One becomes more accepting and less defensive to new ideas. We become more open to new ideas, relationships and perspectives. When we get released from the restrains of a particular worldview we open up to new contingencies and our lives are enriched.

purposive - LESSON.pptx
The document discusses communication and globalization. It covers topics such as defining globalization, how globalization works, its effects on communication, and challenges in multicultural communication settings. Some key points:
- Globalization is defined as the process of interaction and integration among people, companies and governments worldwide due to increased trade and technology.
- It has led to a more interconnected world and created a global communication system where everyone is connected. However, it also faces challenges from cultural and language barriers between groups.
- Effective communication across cultures requires understanding differences in areas like values, language, business practices, and non-verbal communication.
- In multicultural settings, barriers can arise from a lack of cultural awareness

The challenge of culture
1) Culture is collectively programmed and influences how we view the world through "cultural glasses".
2) Managers must understand cultural differences to avoid misunderstandings when implementing strategies in new contexts.
3) What seems normal or important in one culture may not translate to another, so managers must adapt their processes to the local culture.
English Prelim.pdf
The document discusses the relationship between globalization and language. It makes three key points:
1) Globalization has allowed some languages like English to spread and dominate globally, but it has also led to the extinction of other languages as their use declines.
2) Language is closely tied to culture, as it influences things like vocabulary, greetings, and humor. The loss of a language can threaten the cultural identity of a group.
3) For globalization to function effectively, a common language is needed to facilitate international communication and understanding. While English has become a global lingua franca, an over-reliance on it could undermine other languages and cultures. Overall, globalization both promotes the spread of

- 1. RADIO VATICANA December 12 th 2016. To Whom This May Concern: In my capacity as Director of English Programming for the Vatican Radio, it is with great pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation for Giulio D’Ercole. I had the privilege of collaborating closely with Giulio for about two years while he was “Mercy in Motion” Communications Coordinator for Jesuit Refugee Service International Office here in Rome. We shared several projects in common and I had the opportunity to experience first-hand his rare blend of talents and skills. He possesses an in-depth knowledge of both traditional communication techniques and the most modern forms of convergence media. I have seen his organizational skills put to the test in setting up and running international press conferences. I have admired his creative talents in conceiving and promoting world-class awareness-making events. His intellectual curiosity is boundless and his ability to deal with the biggest and smallest of tasks is both disciplined and focussed. He is a team-player of the best calibre – all the time exuding a warmth and humanity that make him a joy to be around. I cannot recommend Giulio D’Ercole highly enough. Please feel free to contact me for further information which I will be more than happy to provide. Yours sincerely, Seàn-Patrick Lovett (Vatican Radio English Section Director)
