Intercultural Communication || Dialectical Approach to Intercultural Communication || Oral Communication
Difference matters.
But whenever we are exposed to more difference, we tend to highlight them and so they tend to cause troubles. Being exposed to different cultural beliefs and practices for example, does not automatically mean we understand these beliefs and practices. More often than not, we find it hard to communicate across them, or at least appreciate them. Communication troubles may arise now that people communicate across cultures more than ever before. In this video, we'll look into the dialectical approach to Intercultural Communication.
As new technologies have shrunken the world, and changes in demographic and political aspects of culture and communication brought attention to cultural differences, we have become more integrated in terms of cultural identities. #InterculturalCommunication helps us be more critical thinkers and sensitively competent communicators in a changing world.
