Kaup valmöguleikar

Samovar/Porter/McDaniel/Roy’s COMMUNICATION BETWEEN CULTURES, 10th Edition, details of the importance of intercultural communication skills. World-wide examples explain the complexity of communicating across cultures and which components need to be understood to be successful. Topics include understanding communication, culture and the role of history, religion, concepts of family and identity formation, professional contexts and ethics.

The text personalizes themes and demonstrates the relevance of intercultural communication by examining how culture shapes and modifies our view of reality, and puts theory into practice. Examples force students to examine their own assumptions, perceptions and cultural biases and understand the subtle and profound ways culture affects communication. The 10th Edition is updated to include diverse perspectives and promote cultural understanding.
