Rationale for Perspectives on a Diverse World - The modern world is characterized by a dramatic increase in communication between people of different cultural backgrounds. Students are now graduating into the world, where intercultural communication is increasingly common. Business, science, education, mass media, entertainment, tourism, politics, war and the internet all provide opportunities and challenges associated with intercultural encounters. COMM 274 is designed to help students better understand their cultural communication style and those of other people, groups, and nations. Upon completion of this course students will have a better understanding of cultures that differ from their own, develop a universalistic, realistic, worldview and learn how culture impacts communication at both the interpersonal and societal levels.
