  1. Hello. My name is Mack to today I'm going to
  2. be discussing the importance of intercultural communication.
  3. All right, We already were extremely accustomed to our society
  4. and culture that most of us have lived in all
  5. of our life.
  6. Growing up, we are so blind to how people with
  7. different cultures and society live a completely different lifestyle.
  8. Because I start to grow up mature.
  9. I'm starting to open my eyes to the real world.
  10. Intercultural, intercultural.
  11. Uh, communication stood out to me the most because it
  12. really opened my eyes to see how ignorant I waas.
  13. I had never really thought about how different cultures and
  14. social cues were around the world.
  15. When it comes to different cultures and areas around the
  16. world, no matter where you are in the world, communication
  17. is going to be extremely important.
  18. But communicating across cultures could be pretty hard.
  19. I don't just mean that there's a language barrier, although
  20. that can be an issue.
  21. No, I mean that cultures actually have some very different
  22. ways of communicating.
  23. Some cultures are informal.
  24. Some cultures use a whole series of ritual greetings before
  25. having a conversation in some cultures.
  26. Consider it rib to show up to a meeting on
  27. time, so we need to learn how to communicate all
  28. over again, just like when we were Children and like
  29. and just like when we were Children.
  30. This requires learning language as well as learning behavioral norms
  31. for good communication.
  32. However, this will be a bit different since we're adults
  33. learn to communicate, learning to communicate in someone else's culture,
  34. not around good good intercultural communication skills require great observations
  35. in your culture.
  36. Communication becomes most relevant when talking to a group of
  37. strangers or to people you may not know very well.
  38. Observations and awareness become very important when it comes to
  39. obtaining a skill of intercultural communication.
  40. It would be extremely easy.
  41. Thio go into a work environment and with people of
  42. different cultures and not really knowing how you can offend
  43. them, but that person and could possibly make you miss
  44. out on an opportunity just because of your cultural ignorance.
  45. When first reading and prior to researching this topic, I
  46. thought that intercultural communication was only relevant when visiting and
  47. talking to people in other cultures and other parts of
  48. the world.
  49. I now realize that intercultural communication happens everywhere Ugo, because
  50. you are constantly surrounding yourself with people from different cultures
  51. in parts of the world.
  52. I found intercultural communication very relevant because of the fact
  53. that I am going to be working in industry with
  54. a lot of people with diverse cultures.
  55. The last thing I want to do to myself is
  56. offend my boss or work holiday because of my cultural
  57. ignorance. After taking this course, I know my cultural awareness
  58. will improve tremendously, and I never really would have thought
  59. twice about how my social cues could have could and
  60. culture could offend somebody.
  61. My opinion, the relationships you build with people is one
  62. of the most valuable things in life.
  63. You also can't exactly expect relationship to come as easy
  64. as it did when I was growing up.
  65. Um, I grew up picking up on the culture that
  66. my peers and parents taught me going to a nearby
  67. school. You are also surrounded with people that grew up
  68. learning the same culture is you, which makes communication with
  69. people much more comfortable and easy.
  70. As I start to become a young adult, I have
  71. realized how important your professional communication skills are, a zai
  72. familiar myself.
  73. With constant changing of cultures and different communicating patterns across
  74. the world, I find myself amazed in something in our
  75. world and could go completely unnoticed.
  76. As in other cultures, it could result in a shunning
  77. or if someone of a different culture to be very
  78. offended. Intercultural communication is basically the same thing as interpersonal
  79. communication, except it has severe different aspects when it comes
  80. to doing both successfully.
  81. When communicating with two or more people from a different
  82. culture, you must be educated on their lifestyle, communication and
  83. rituals. Something else to think about is how far conversation
  84. consists of body language and signs.
  85. Intercultural communication is also not simply, ah, language proficiency.
  86. Yes, communication requires the ability to understand language.
  87. But just think about how much of your communication with
  88. even your own friends is nonverbal.
  89. Our body language are our attitude, and the rituals from
  90. handshaking to the stink eye is almost like you are.
  91. It's almost like you are starting from scratch like you
  92. were a baby and didn't have the first clue What
  93. culture waas moving forward in order improve on.
  94. This is simply making myself aware of culture and to
  95. teach myself how to adapt to people with different cultures
  96. than me during this.
  97. During this, I will begin to observe, listen, ask questions
  98. and to learn the language of the intended culture I
  99. am trying to communicate with, for a great example that
  100. this has actually happened in my life.
  101. My last job when I was about 18 years old.
  102. I didn't get the job because I had no idea
  103. how to communicate with my boss.
  104. I wasn't professional and it put me at the bottom
  105. of the list.
  106. Overall, each type of communication is important, but I have
  107. been Each type of communication is important, but I've been
  108. subconsciously using those methods of communication ever since I learned
  109. to talk.
  110. I want to familiar myself with intercultural communication to maximize
  111. my communication skills even further.
  112. I know learning and having more knowledge of different cultures
  113. around the world will help me in a lot of
  114. ways, other than just communicating as I leave my childhood
  115. behind in my entire adulthood.
  116. I think it is very important that I learn and
  117. obtain the skill and that it will serve me for
  118. the rest of my life with nothing but success having
  119. the ability to inter personally talk with colleagues and important
  120. individuals of different cultures will allow me to express, impress
  121. and work my way to the top of the food
  122. chain with whatever life takes me and who I meet.
