Members from different parts of the world that belong to an International project team can come across misunderstanding because of cultural differences. The West Europe district with different work styles and attitudes can diverge across parts of Europe. Understanding sessions can focus on addressing the problems dealing with attitudes. Diversity was introduced to all over the world to prevent discrimination and harassment. Kilbride, K. (1997).
Stumbling blocks The essay, “Intercultural Communication Stumbling Blocks,” by LaRay M. Barna tells the story about communication barriers that occur between people who belong to different cultures. Barner has highlighted several barriers to intercultural communication in this article. First, that language is one of the main barriers to intercultural communication since people cannot communicate when they don't understand what the other person is saying. Second, nonverbal signs and symbols are also barrier to effective intercultural communication since different cultural groups interpret signs and symbols differently. Also, perception and stereotypes are barriers to effective communication since they lead to misunderstanding and hence avoidance.
We view through the film Paradise Road by Bruce Beresford, as the conflict of enduring a war has encompassed during a cultural misunderstanding. We view those who may not at times seem to stand up for themselves. Martin Luther King Jnr presents to us his honour and dignity when faced with conflict. Through the stories of these people we see that conflict can often breed further disagreement and suffering, as it may act in extraordinary ways. We are each led to articulate through responses in conflict, to realize who we truly are.
Whilst conflict merely involve two parties disagreeing over differences of opinion, this interpersonal conflict can bring out either courage or cowardice in people. We have seen throughout history that major conflicts in the form of war and international political unrest, lead many to experience horrific and life-changing conflicts of a larger scale. A recent global example of interpersonal conflict is Malala Yousafzai, who was shot by the Taliban over her fight for universal education, urged people in war-torn countries to swap
Susan Smith EN 3220 Dr. Roxanne Hannontine Unit 3 Assignment 1: Habits That Hinder Thinking Conformity to me is the tendency to align once attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors with those around one. It's a powerful force that can take the form of overt social pressure or subtler unconscious influence. As much as one like to think of one selves as individuals, the fact is that we're driven to fit in, and that usually means going with the flow. A good example of it would be the elementary schools, high schools and even the colleges....how many children and young people are shunned because they don't follow the latest fashion or hate going to football games or basketball games, or other events? Stereotyping to me is a thought that may be adopted about specific types of individuals, their ways of doing certain things, people’s race and ways of behavior.
From Prejudice to Hatred When analyzing stories, of any genre, often there are cycles or patterns that are repeated many times. In many literacy and media works, the cycle archetype of prejudice is seen. This recurring course is sometimes stopped by someone who has a basis to his or her beliefs. Both, Jen Sookfong Lee, author of The End of East and Scott Hick’s, director of Snow Falling on Cedar, show through their works how the repeating nature of prejudice, can prevent the full happiness and peace of a population as a whole. The authors illustrate how preconceived notions emphasize faults in specific people, causing distrust and hatred between individuals and societies.
Anzaldúa argues that this can lead to linguistic terrorism which is when a person feels uncomfortable about his or her own culture and feel awkward talking in their native tongue. Anzaldúa states that the more students try to succeed in
I dealt with all different situations while in the village, each one teaching me just how different we are. Some countries have such different cultures, it is impossible for them to understand each other’s beliefs and ideas. These two countries are so unalike; they could be considered different worlds. Now that these two worlds have collided, only a true understanding of each other’s cultures will end this conflict. Although Afghan and American culture both encourages marriage, the differences of methods are monumental.
To. Mrs. Hopkins, Recently, I have read your controversial and callous article ‘If Britain is prepared to provide an all-inclusive resort service for asylum seekers, the least they can do is wear a bloody wristband.’ From a student with a family member who has experienced being a refugee, I know that the issues regarding asylum seekers and refugees are critical in the modern society. Therefore, I feel that the article you have written, mostly oversimplified and prejudiced, could mislead lots of readers to have undesirable views of those people who are in need. Although most of your arguments are either factually incorrect or oversimplified, some of your points are undeniably true. For instance: a normal worker from the UK whom ‘might earn £30K a year’ has had to ‘hand over £7000’ which could lead to an increasing divide between native Brits and asylum seekers and between politicians and normal workers.
Stanislav Prasolov 04/06/13 Diversity and It’s Discontents When moving to another country is always not easy because it takes a lot of time to get use to new society and culture. You get treated differently when people find out you’re an immigrant from different country, some people would bully you and some would not pay attention to you at all because they would look at you as an “the other”. Even if you were born in United States and your nationality is Spanish and you speak fluent English, the American people would still judge you as “the other” just like Arturo Madrid the author of Diversity and It’s Discontents. Madrid had a hard time to fit in, he was looked at the “other” which means not fitting in the group
