Category: Elements of Human Communication
Consider a conversation or interaction between two (or more) people who are from very different cultures and how they communicated (or miscommunicated). If you are comfortable, you may have an authentic experience to draw on for this assignment. It could relate to healthcare, but it does not have to. You could also look to your own Week 1 Discussion Main Post as a starting point. You could also choose to find an example in a series television program, movie or film, or Instagram story if you prefer.
2. In what ways did culture affect the communication interaction? What expectations were present for those present for the interaction?
3. Use examples from the experience, or the media example, to demonstrate, support and illustrate your observations on expectations, cultures, and understandings (or misunderstandings).
4. Write a two- to three-page paper, not counting the title page and the references page, that summarizes how culture affected your communication experience.
5. While including cited support for terms and concepts is important, the bulk of this paper should be in your own words about your own experience.
6. Connect your observations and experiences to a scholarly source like our textbook.
Suggested structure: Introduction paragraph that includes a main idea, multiple body paragraphs with evidence and support, and conclusion paragraph that wraps it up. If, for any reason, you are not comfortable discussing your personal cultural background, you can choose communication between two characters from a scene in a movie or television show. How did the culture of the characters affect the communication in that scene?
