Provides students with an understanding and appreciation of different cultures and the practical skills for improving their communication with people from other cultures. The book includes numerous compelling examples that force students to examine their own assumptions and cultural biases. It is divided into four interrelated parts: Part I introduces the study of communication and culture; Part II focuses on the ability of culture to shape and modify our view of reality; Part III puts the theory of intercultural communication into practice; and Part IV converts knowledge into action.
