Culture consists of three main components: 1) a diverse pool of shared knowledge, realities, norms and meanings; 2) aspects that are learned and transmitted between generations; and 3) facilitates survival and adaptation. Culture can be represented by an iceberg, with most aspects below the surface being implicit and harder to observe than explicit surface level aspects. Examples are given of differing concepts of beauty across cultures, such as foot binding in China, and acceptable behaviors like slurping noodles in Japan that may seem strange to outsiders but are part of the local culture below the surface.

What did you say? mindful interculture communication [201608 icgse]
The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion it has taken place. George Bernard Shaw, Irish playwright, co-founder of London School of Economics, and Nobel Prize in Literature (1925).
Projects are about communication, communication, and communication. B. Elenbass in "Staging a project: Are you setting your project up for success?"
What one says to compatriots in face-to-face conversation is often misunderstood; imagine the possibilities for misunderstandings with someone from halfway around the world, natively speaking another language, and living in a different culture! In such circumstances how can you be sure that your collocutor has understood you in face-to-face (hard), telephone (harder), and email (hardest) conversations? Without being fully present in the conversation -- mindfully aware -- whether it's face-to-face, by Skype or phone, or through email, successful communication is difficult, even more so for intercultural communication.
The ubiquity of English facilitates basic communication, but its use as a common language frequently disguises cultural differences. Furthermore, to say that English (or any other language) can be ambiguous, is an understatement. But regardless of language, clear communication is essential for success in any collaborative undertaking whether done by a small co-located group or by a globally dispersed team.
This tutorial teaches mindful communication and describes frameworks useful in understanding cultural differences and gives real-life examples of misunderstandings due to such differences. Expect to take away practical tools to understand your own cultural biases and in-class practice mindful communication with your colleagues from other cultures as well as your own. You will also learn about frameworks for understanding other cultures based on work by Geert Hofstede, Fons Trompenaars, and others as well as on the presenter's own experiences.

The Globalization of Identity and Culture
Globalization is influencing higher education trends in South Korea. South Korean universities are increasingly adopting Western-style curriculum and programs to attract more international students and compete globally. However, this is also contributing to "brain drain" as many Korean students choose to study and work abroad after graduation. The effects of globalization in higher education are creating both educational and cultural changes in South Korean classrooms.

The Globalization of Identity and Culture
Globalization is influencing higher education trends in South Korea. South Korean universities are increasingly adopting Western-style curriculum and programs to attract more international students and compete globally. However, this is also contributing to "brain drain" as many Korean students choose to study and work abroad after graduation. The effects of globalization in higher education are creating both educational and cultural changes in South Korean classrooms.

Representation exam
This document discusses representation theory and provides guidance on evaluating media productions based on representation of place, people, and ideologies. It defines representation and discusses how media texts mediate representations through selection, organization, and focus. It also addresses the reflective, intentional, and constructionist views of representation and how stereotypes and countertypes shape representations. Guidance is given on analyzing representations of gender, race, age and other social factors. The goal is to have students analyze their own media productions in terms of these representation theories.
Culture PPT
This document discusses the concept of culture from several perspectives. It first examines different definitions of culture and theories about how culture is formed, noting that culture may develop from both nature and nurture. The document then argues that culture exists as a means of survival, as people need to fit in and understand others. An activity is described where participants are assigned cultural identities and must interact to complete an object, representing how cultures can overcome differences. Questions are posed at the end to prompt discussion about observations of cultural interactions and how the activity relates to the real world.
Chapters 1 and 2
This document is a chapter from a book that provides an introduction to conducting fieldwork research in Japan. The chapter defines culture and discusses its key characteristics. It explains that culture consists of shared understandings among a group about how to behave and find meaning. The chapter then explores five dimensions of culture: communities, individuals, cultural products, cultural practices, and cultural perspectives. It provides examples to illustrate each dimension and how exploring these dimensions can help analyze a particular culture.
Project Management...Globalization And Cultural Diversity
This document discusses cultural diversity challenges faced by the European Aeronautic Defense and Space Company (EADS) in its A380 aircraft program. EADS is a large European aerospace corporation that developed the A380, the world's largest passenger airliner. The $11 billion A380 program experienced significant delays and cost overruns, partly due to cultural differences between French, German, British, and Spanish team members. An intercultural survey found strong national stereotypes between team members that hindered collaboration. Bridging cultural gaps is important for project success in a globalized environment.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

The Iceberg Analogy
- 1. What is Culture? Intercultural Communication DELC
- 2. What is culture? • -Latin word cultura or cultus as in “agri cultura, the cultivation of the soil” (Freilich, 1989). Three important points: 1. Diverse pool of knowledge, shared realities and norms, learned systems of meanings. 2. It is shared and transmitted from one generation to the next. 3. Facilitates survival and adaptation to the external environment.
- 3. What is an iceberg? ‘Culture is like an iceberg’
- 4. A different concept of Beauty • When you are asked what makes a person ‘beautiful’, you might think about a person with certain characteristics. Perhaps you think about his soul or personality. • The concept of ‘beauty’ around the world might differ from the one that you have.
- 5. A different concept of Beauty Let’s look an example. Look at the following video and write down what are your first impressions. Viewer discression is advised http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMdmSerORw0
- 6. Explaining the Tip of the Iceberg analogy • How can you explain the iceberg analogy using the Chinese foot-binding example? (Write your comments in the Discusssion Board) • Can you think of any other examples?
- 7. Slurping your soup: that’s wrong, isn’t? When having dinner with a Japanese couple, I couldn’t help to notice that they made a particular sound while eating noodles. While for me, this was a sign of bad manners, they explained to me that in Japan, this not only accepted, but it also means that you are slurping your meal.
- 8. Look around • Have you been in the presence of a situation/behavior that seemed ‘wrong’ to you, but acceptable for the people in the country you are visiting? • How can you relate this experience to the iceberg analogy? Share your answers in the appropriate Discussion Board.
