Über dieses Buch
INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION FOR EVERYDAY LIFE
Face the global challenges of the future with this accessible introduction to communication across boundaries
Communication between cultures can be challenging in a number of ways, but it also carries immense potential rewards. In an increasingly connected world, it has never been more important to communicate across a range of differences created by history and circumstance. Contributing to global communities and rising to meet crucial shared challenges—human rights disputes, refugee crises, the international climate crisis—depends, in the first instance, on a sound communicative foundation.
Intercultural Communication for Everyday Life provides a thorough introduction to this vital subject for students encountering it for the first time. Built around a robust and multifaceted definition of culture, which goes far beyond simple delineation of national boundaries, it offers an understanding of its subject that transcends US-centricity. The result, updated to reflect dramatic ongoing changes to the interconnected world, is essential for students of cross—cultural communication and exchange.
Readers of the second edition of Intercultural Communication for Everyday Life readers will also find:
- Accessible definitions of core concepts
- Revised and updated chapters reflecting the COVID-19 crisis, climate change challenges, and more
- An all-new chapter on social media as a tool for intercultural communication
Intercultural Communication for Everyday Life is essential for students and other readers seeking a foundational overview of this subject.
