What ccu is, ? cross culture understanding
This document discusses cross-cultural understanding and some of the challenges of adapting to a new culture. It notes that culture is expressed through behaviors, decision-making, ethics and values that develop over many years based on a society's history, geography, language and religion. People visiting a new culture may find some aspects disturbing, which can negatively impact their experience if they do not overcome those responses. One of the biggest challenges is adapting to a culture's non-verbal behaviors and societal norms, as these are deeply ingrained but often unconscious. To understand a group's behaviors, one must understand their dominant cultural values that are passed down through generations. The document provides an analogy that culture is like an iceberg, with observable behaviors

Cultural change occurs through the interaction between two culturally different groups and the process of intercultural exchange. Intercultural exchange can result in both benefits like cultural enrichment and problems like racism. Globalization is a legacy of cultural change that influences societies through economic and technological forces. It allows for rapid spreading of cultures but also exerts pressure that changes cultural norms. The United States exemplifies how cultural diversity, change, and globalization reinforce one another through immigration integrating diverse ethnic groups and accelerating the global exchange of ideas.

cross cultural communication..no..130210116003
The document discusses cross-cultural communication. It defines culture as the learned behaviors, values, and beliefs that are passed down through generations and define a distinct group. Cross-cultural communication is defined as "miscommunication" that occurs when parties from different cultural backgrounds engage in communication or negotiations. An example given is a miscommunication between an English man and Gujarati man due to their different languages. The document then lists eight characteristics of cross-cultural communication, including that culture evolves over time in response to situations, new superior cultures can be adopted, and changes must be compatible with the majority's thinking.
Introduction to Cultural Diversity
Cultural diversity is the term used to describe many different cultures co-existing within one larger culture. The fact that we can eat so many different types of cuisine in the United States is because people from other countries have immigrated to the US and brought aspects of their own cultures with them. This means that under the umbrella of American culture there are actually many different ethnic traditions being practiced in communities around the country.
As an abstract concept, cultural diversity is actually pretty straightforward; however, finding a concrete definition of culture can be a little bit tricky. This is because the definition of culture can change depending on who's using it and the context in which it's being used. For example, some people use the term to describe the creative arts, like dancing or painting, while others use it in a much broader context to refer to all of the traditions, practices, and belief systems of a particular population of people. For the purposes of this lesson, we are going to look at culture as the latter of these two definitions.
Cultural iceberg 123
The document discusses culture as being like an iceberg, with most of it existing below the surface and not visible. It states that while aspects of culture like food, music and art are observable, they are just manifestations of deeper underlying values and attitudes. These core values are primarily learned ideas about what is good, right, desirable and acceptable. They are passed down over generations through influential institutions and shape culture, but may be interpreted differently in different contexts. Like an iceberg, understanding culture fully requires analyzing these deeper, less visible values and forces that have molded it over time.
Cross cultural communication
This document discusses cross-cultural communication and the importance of understanding cultural differences. Culture is defined as the ideas, customs, and social behaviors shared by a group. Cross-cultural communication looks at how people from different cultures communicate with each other and within their own culture. Barriers to effective cross-cultural communication include ethnocentrism, discrimination, stereotyping and cultural insensitivity. Understanding cultural differences like communication style, gestures, and values is key to overcoming these barriers. Being respectful and building trust across cultures helps improve cross-cultural communication.
Cultural pluralism
The document discusses issues of cultural identity, representation in media, and oppression faced by marginalized groups such as women, people of color, lesbians, and the working class. It addresses how ignoring or not acknowledging differences between groups can threaten unity and oppress some. It argues for recognizing differences as equal and using them to build solidarity in fighting struggles against systems of oppression.
INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION COMPETENCE
Culture and communication are interrelated. Everything that can be said in one language cannot be translated directly to another due to cultural influences on communication styles. Intercultural communication occurs when people from different cultures communicate and perceive themselves as belonging to different cultures. Understanding each other's cultural communication styles, like levels of formality and emotion, is important for effective intercultural communication.
Culture and Ethnic Identities by Ting-Toomey and Chung

Cultural Diversity by PSHE
This document discusses cultural diversity in Britain. It notes that Britain has long benefited from cultural diversity and is now one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world. It values community cohesion and ensuring equal opportunities for all. Britain's culture has been heavily influenced by different immigrant cultures, such as Indian curry becoming a popular dish. Cultural diversity in Britain can be traced back through its history, with each group of settlers contributing different aspects of their culture.
Comm2633 week3 2017_sem1
This document discusses how ideology and popular culture shape understandings of race. It defines key concepts like race, ethnicity, and ideology. Ideology works through popular culture to normalize certain views and make them seem natural. Edward Said's work on Orientalism examined how the West constructs understandings of the Middle East through distorted lenses that serve Western interests in maintaining power and control. Popular culture plays a role in disseminating ideological fictions that create distinctions between racial or ethnic groups.
Culture & geography
This document discusses key concepts in geography and culture. It defines culture as the total way of life of a group of people and explains that there is global diversity in cultural components such as religion, language, cuisine, and values. It also defines cultural geography terms including culture regions, cultural diffusion, cultural landscapes, cultural ecology, and cultural interaction.
Intercultural communication (Social Dimensions)
The document discusses the organization and transmission of culture. It explains that culture can be broken down into smaller units called cultural traits, which combine to form complexes and patterns. Culture is transmitted through enculturation, acculturation, and assimilation. Enculturation is learning one's own culture, acculturation is learning new traits from another culture, and assimilation occurs when an individual entirely adopts a new culture and loses their original identity. The document also discusses the importance of culture in distinguishing humans and regulating behavior.
343 week 3
This document contains the agenda and notes for an English class discussing identity and culture. It includes reminders about assignments, an overview of concepts from last week's readings, and a discussion of key terms and concepts from the readings for this week, including Holliday et al.'s views on essentialist vs non-essentialist perspectives of culture, and Pavlenko's work on identity narratives. The class will analyze identity narratives in small groups and discuss how language and narratives relate to notions of identity.
Ethnography and culture
The document discusses key concepts in ethnography and culture. It defines culture as the acquired knowledge people use to interpret experiences and generate behavior. Ethnography is defined as the process of discovering and describing a particular culture from the insider's point of view in order to understand their perspective. The goal of ethnography is to understand the world from the point of view of the culture being studied and to understand the meanings and experiences of their actions based on their own language and concepts rather than those of outsiders. The document also discusses different types of cultural descriptions that vary in their use of insider versus outsider language.
2 introduction to culture
This document discusses definitions of culture and cultural dimensions. It provides several definitions of culture that reference aspects like knowledge, beliefs, customs, and habits that distinguish one human group from another. The document notes that defining culture is difficult as it has many dimensions. It also discusses cultural dimensions identified by Geert Hofstede from a large survey study, including power distance, individualism, masculinity, uncertainty avoidance, and long-term orientation. The document encourages learning about the culture of the country you are visiting to better understand cultural differences and similarities.
UNESCO World Report : Investing in Cultural Diversity and Intercultural Dialogue
Culture plays a very special role within UNESCO’s mandate. Not only does it represent a specifi c fi eld of activities, encompassing the safeguarding
and promoting of heritage in all its forms (both tangible and intangible), encouraging creativity (particularly in the cultural industries), and facilitating
mutual understanding through intercultural dialogue, it also permeates all UNESCO’s fi elds of competence. It is therefore a source of satisfaction
that this cross-cutting relevance of culture should be underlined with the publication of this second volume in the series of UNESCO intersectoral
world reports, devoted to cultural diversity. 2009
Basics of Cultural Geography
In broad terms, cultural geography examines the cultural values, practices, discursive and material expressions and artefacts of people, the cultural diversity and plurality of society.
It also emphasizes on how cultures are distributed over space, how places and identities are produced, how people make sense of places and build senses of place, and how people produce and communicate knowledge and meaning.
Cultural identity development
This document discusses cultural identity development and James Banks' six stages of ethnic identity development. The stages progress from ethnic psychological captivity, where one has a monocultural experience and suffers stereotypes, to stages of reinforcing cultural identity, biethnicity, multiculturalism, and ultimately developing global identities and competencies. The document suggests considering what stage of cultural identity development oneself and one's friends are at and whether this perspective would change how one views friends.

Culture And Its Effects On Our Culture
Culture powerfully influences human cognition, perception and behavior. Culture provides structure, order and predictability in an unpredictable world. It shapes how we see and understand the world through the lens of our cultural upbringing. Culture is learned during childhood and influences personality development and social functioning. Different cultures have diverse rules, customs and norms regarding verbal communication and interaction that can cause barriers or be misinterpreted between cultures without understanding cultural differences.
Cultural Conflict
Cultural conflict arises when different cultures interact and their behaviors and values conflict. It can occur between individuals, within a culture, between a culture and itself, or between different cultures. Examples include conflicts between ethnic groups in Bosnia, Rwanda, and Northern Ireland. Cultural conflict is expressed through instrumental conflicts over goals and practices or expressive conflicts regarding emotions. While culture is a source of conflict, understanding cultural differences can help resolve or prevent conflicts, though cultural conflicts cannot always be avoided since culture influences all relationships where conflict occurs.

Developing cultural dexterity leads to cultural competence. Cultural competence — the ability to work effectively across a variety of cultures — begins as a conversation among people who see the world differently.
Developing dexterity with diversity does not just happen. We need social and educational experiences plus reflection on the experience to go beyond reliance on stereotypes. The Universal Declaration makes it clear that each individual must acknowledge not only “otherness” in all its forms, but also the plurality of his or her own identity, within societies that are themselves plural.
Understanding diversity embraces acceptance, respect, and empathy. It means we understand that each individual is unique and multi-faceted. This means understanding each other despite our differences. This is the most important dialogue we can have in the Boardrooms and University classrooms around the world.

Culture is defined as the arts, beliefs, customs, and institutions that are shared by a population. It includes both material objects like art as well as non-material aspects like values and social norms. Culture is passed down from generation to generation. Society refers to a definable group of people who share the same culture and live together in a community. Politics involves the processes by which groups of people make decisions, particularly around governance and power within countries and other large groups.
Chapter 2 : Culture & Comm
Culture influences the meaning of symbols and communication is influenced by culture. Symbols don't have inherent meanings and can refer to different concepts across cultures. The meaning of communication comes from the people involved, not just the words themselves. Different cultures can use different symbols to refer to the same thing, and the same symbol can have different meanings in different cultures. Communication and understanding can break down due to these cultural differences in symbolic meaning.

Whatisculture
- 2. Grammar and vocabulary aren't the only things that make up a language. To communicate effectively, you have to know when and why and how to deploy it. That's why culture and language are inherently intertwined in SLE sessions.
- 3. In this module, you'll start collecting cultural material to share in your sessions. Organizing your sessions around cultural topics will keep it engaging and give students a sense of progress and accomplishment.
- 4. SLE defines culture broadly, so it is largely up to you to decide what is important to you and what you'd like to share. To get you thinking about your own definition of culture, here are a few ways others have defined it:
- 5. Kluckhohn, C., & Kelly, W.H. (1945). The concept of culture. In R. Linton (Ed.). The Science of Man in the World Culture. New York. (pp. 78-105). "By culture we mean all those historically created designs for living, explicit and implicit, rational, irrational, and nonrational, which exist at any given time as potential guides for the behavior of men."
- 6. Hofstede, G. (1984). National cultures and corporate cultures. In L.A. Samovar & R.E. Porter (Eds.), Communication Between Cultures. Belmont, CA: Wadsworth. "Culture is the collective programming of the mind which distinguishes the members of one category of people from another." (p. 51).
- 7. Banks, J.A., Banks, & McGee, C. A. (1989). Multicultural education. Needham Heights, MA: Allyn & Bacon. "The essence of a culture is not its artifacts, tools, or other tangible cultural elements but how the members of the group interpret, use, and perceive them."
- 8. We can also think of Culture with a BIG C and culture with a little c. Big C: Who are the great writers, artists, and musicians? What are the lasting, famous works of art, music, and literature? What are the great moments in this culture's history?
- 9. little c: What are the features of daily life, popular culture, and social mores? How does the life of a 20-something in your target culture resemble and differ from the typical American 20something's experience?
- 10. And you're not limited to talking about the differences between cultures; it's just as important to talk about shared values and variations on familiar practices.
- 11. You are not expected to speak for your whole culture, either! Be clear with your class that your experience is representative, not definitive.
- 12. See if you can list a few cultural features you'd like to share from each of the following: THE FIVE DIMENSIONS OF CULTURE Products (tools, food, clothes) Practices(verbal and non-verbal language, actions, interactions, taboos) Perspectives(values, beliefs) Communities(race, gender, religion, etc) Persons(individuals) Which we'll pick up after this interlude with the fellows....
