You will interview at least two people who belong to cultural groups other than your own and who themselves are from different cultures so that you may reflect on and analyze your intercultural communication competence as well as the importance of cultural diversity awareness.
As part of your analysis, you should apply concepts from your studies. Specifically, you should discuss the
Five Dimensions of Culture
, as presented by
Communication in the Real World (2016), and how they affect intercultural communication for all participants, including yourself, as presented in the Communication and Diversity lesson. Be sure to discuss all three (your 2 interviewees and yourself) perspectives when analyzing the Five Dimensions of Culture.
Discussing your self-concept and how it affects your communication competency with diverse cultures is also important.
You will present the results of this interview and your communication reflection/analysis in a 4-6 page essay (not including the cover page and reference page), following APA documentation for any source material used in your analysis. Properly cite and source all references.
Required Format and Process
