Intercultural Communication In Rush Hour

This change in tone is a reflection of the cultural values that are upheld within the educational system. This serves as an excellent illustration of how the power of communication can be used to convey our sense of identity as well as the cultural values that we uphold to other people.

This clearly reveals how important of the family pride and reputation is to a Chinese family. As a Chinese girl growing up in a Chinese family, I know what it is really mean to my family exactly. I was taught to be a loyal and responsible person since I was a child. I know my family will be responsible for my wrongdoings, so I always follow the rules that my family gave to me because I do not want them to be ashamed of me. Hence, to some extent, we cannot avoid the influence of culture because it is invisible but powerful in different aspects of our

The subject of food films that display “Otherness” to reach out to a bigger public. In recent times “numerous food films focus on ethnic families” to not only show the people a lifestyle, but also to bring communities together. In films such as Soul Food, Tortilla Soup, and What’s Cooking displays different types of culture, but can bring people to come to relate to them. She expresses herself by saying that our culture has a “hearty enthusiasm for ‘foreign food’ that is supposed to hide the taste of racism”. Laura’s thought on how food films with that kind of display bring people of different cultures together is true because I have seen it with my life.

The kids be taught to be respect and follow the seniority’s instruct since they were young, and everyone around them are all doing like this, so the high-power distance’s concept be with them the whole life. When they grow up, they follow the teacher’s and parents’ words and after they get in the society get in the work, they would follow the leader’s words.

In this essay excerpt Rodriguez had to give up speaking the comfortable language of Spanish at home and had to begin practicing English. Even though Rodriguez was disinclined to give up speaking Spanish and practicing English, whenever he was at school and spoke in English, his fellow classmate actually understood him. Rodriguez states, “One day in school, I raised my hand to volunteer an answer to a questions. I spoke out in a loud voice and I did not think it remarkable when the entire class understood.” By Rodriguez changing his language, he was more easily understood by his classmates.

Chino says to himself,”I realized that by reinventing culture, they were reinventing themselves. I wanted to reinvent myself too. I no longer wanted the world to be just my neighborhood anymore”. Chino is starting to realize if he wants to reinvent himself that he would have to change social expectations humans must bond in order to belong to their social group.

John Puller, the protagonist in David Baldacci's popular fictional novel “The Forgotten,” demonstrates every leadership trait in the Bases of Social Power. John Puller, Army CID, is a gifted leader capable of wearing many hats. He has enough expertise and legitimacy to support coercive actions, and has no problems cashing in on his referent power to relay rewards to his followers. The “Bases of Social Power” formed by J. R. P. French and B. Raven delineate five types of power bases that can give rise to leadership: (1) “expert power, which is based on the perception that the leader possesses some special knowledge or expertise (2) referent power, which is based on the follower’s liking, admiring, or identifying with the leader (3) reward

One major problem I have encounter with the Hispanic population is how they distrust their medical provider if the provider is of a different race and does not speak their language and/or understand their culture. A large number of the patient’s we see only speaks Spanish and are from low socioeconomic status, some with little reading and writing comprehension. To complicated the situation they do not share with the medical staff or physician that they cannot read or write. Not being able to communicate makes it difficult to assess pain level; it can lead to the patient taking the medication incorrectly, and makes its difficult to build a relation with the physician. In a study done on 2014, the diabetic patient health outcome was improved

The rhetorical and cultural perspectives are always at play in interactions. The rhetorical perspectives describes the strategic choices in an interaction. The cultural perspective recognizes that the choices one makes in communication are deeply rooted in one's culture. In this interaction I strategically chose to provide accounts of Dee’s promises in order to demand actions for her to take. There is not enough evidence to interpret how/if Dee is using the rhetorical perspective in the interaction.

“Learning about stereotypes, ethnocentrism, discrimination, and acculturation in the abstract can be flat and uninspiring. But if we experience intercultural contact with our own eyes and ears, we begin to understand it” (Summerfield, 1993). In other words, in order to expand knowledge about different cultural backgrounds, it is useful to have firsthand experiences. Films are enormous cultural treasures for us to have visual and auditory experiences and facilitate intercultural learning. “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” (2002) is a ideal film to obtain knowledge of a lot in term of intercultural communication, in particularly, individualism/collectivism, communication style and power distance.

Cultural identity plays a very vital role in cross cultural communication, people from a particular culture communicate with partners and employees from many different cultures and in this situation every individual strives to keep their cultural and individual identity. According to Gardiner and Kosmitzki, identity is defined as “a person 's self-definition as a separate and distinct individual, including behaviours, beliefs, and attitudes” (Gardiner & Kosmitzki, 2008, p. 154). Also, Ting-Toomey defines identity as a "reflective self-conception or self-image that we each derive from our family, gender, cultural, ethnic, and individual socialization process"( Ting-Toomey, 2005). Both definitions bring out the generalisation of cultural identity
