Dynamics of Intercultural Communication
Dynamics of Intercultural Communication This book explains the grand influence of culture on our communication. The overall aim of Dodd’s work was to show us how culture effects communication, and thus, how our communication is influenced by culture. ... Culture is implicit when describing communication. Since communication is a process, part of that process involves understanding the influence of your culture upon such things as your self-identity, values, patterns of speech and nonverbal communication habits. ... People can easily feel the awkwardness of intercultural communication because cultural differences can obscure our ‘certainty’ and produce uncertainty in which we feel some psychological comfort.
