Final Presentation
Intercultural communication
The word means the art of being able to communicate efficiently with people of
different cultural and linguistic origins
To successfully go through a communication without any barriers is very difficult
There are many barriers and one of the biggest barrier in communication is cultural
or linguistic barriers
Therefore, the intercultural communication was most important subject because it
helped me learn how one can achieve a successive communication with people from
other cultures and avoid all the barriers associated with cultural differences.
What I learned
Intercultural communication is not abandoning ones culture but understand other
in an in depth manner to learn what is unacceptable or acceptable to them
I also learned that body language and attitude matters a lot in achieving an effective
communication with a person from another culture
It is critical to know that non-verbal communication is the most effective tool while
communicating with other language than verbal communication
I also learned that applying intercultural skills in group communication is even hard
to achieve because of presence of more than one culture
Key things to remember
Avoid Cultural Stereotypes, the biggest factors that cause barrier in
intercultural communications
People from other cultures have different standards, beliefs, customs, and
social patterns
Some of the cultural differences might conflict with ones culture while
others might conform
One should always do research so as to know how to deal with the
conflicting cultural practices
How I will Apply this Knowledge
Firstly, I will apply it in my working environment to create a health
relationship with my workmates
Secondly, I will use the intercultural skills to comminute with students who
are from different cultures in school and at home
Thirdly, I will apply it to help people solve conflicts involving cultural or
linguistic differences
Lastly, I will apply it in group communication where people are from
different cultures
How I have applied intercultural skills
I have already applied it in group discussions where we were given
assignment with people from different cultures
I have also applied it to talk to my friends who are from other cultures
I have also applied it to solve different conflicts that arose during the group
discussions among peers
What worked and what did not work
I was able to solve conflicts in two group discussions and all members
cooperated
I have also been able to make a friend and avoid cultural differences that can
easily cause conflicts
However, I have found it very difficult to deal with conflicting beliefs and
practices which has led to several arguments with friends from other cultures
Conclusion
The Intercultural communication is a vital tool in the modern society
Every individual needs to grasp and understand this topic because it can help
avoid a lot of unnecessary conflicts in the society
The other reason why people need to understand this topic is how the world
is becoming globalized everyday meaning that it will be hard to avoid
communicating with people of other cultures
It can be a vital tool in group communications especially in work place
meetings and in social places like events
