PART 1- Module 1 – DISCUSSION

Unequivocal Language

Practice your skill at using unequivocal language by describing how each of the following sentences is likely to be misunderstood (or not understood at all). Then improve the clarity of each message by introducing your message with a high-level abstraction and qualifying it with low-level abstractions. To invent meaningful low-level abstractions, you will have to imagine a specific scenario.

1.     You did a heck of a job on that proposal.

2.     There are just a few small problems to clear up.

3.     I just need a little more time to finish the job.

4.     Your job performance hasn’t been good this year.

Take the information from the above activity and apply it to a work situation you have faced.  Specifically focus on how you would deal with it differently now that you have this information.

Submission Instructions:

• The essay is to be clear and concise and scholars will lose points for improper grammar, punctuation, misspelling, and incorrect APA format.
• Your initial post should be at least 200 words; formatted and cited accurately in the current APA style with support from your textbook and at least 1 other academic source. Remember to include the TED Talk in your references.

PART 2- Module 1 - ASSIGNMENT

Differences in Communication 

·       Either through personal interviews or research, identify several differences in communication practices between your own culture and another culture that interests you.

·       Choose one set of cultural values summarized on pp. 45-49 and identify the characteristic that is not representative of your own culture. For example, if you are used to a low-context culture, you might focus on high-context communication. Now consider both the advantages and disadvantages of working in an environment in which this unfamiliar norm is the dominant one. For instance, how might interactions be more effective or otherwise desirable if most people communicated in a high-context manner?

·       Choose three cultures around the world with which you might interact in the course of your career. To discover the keys to effective intercultural communication in your three chosen cultures, find some reputable sources on the internet. For each of the three cultures describe:

o   The culture in general

o   The business protocols for that culture

o   The language(s)

·       Length: 3 pages double spaced

Submission Instructions:

·       The paper is to be clear and concise and students will lose points for improper grammar, punctuation, and misspelling.

·       The paper is to be 3 pages in length double-spaced, current APA style, excluding the title, and references page.

·       Incorporate a minimum of 5 current references (published within the last five years) scholarly journal articles or primary legal sources (statutes, court opinions) within your work.
