                          CHAPTERS 3, 9 AND 10 Daniela Hernandez Perez 02/01/2022 SPC1017   During our first presentation for the speech class, we spoke about intercultural communications, communicating in groups and group leadership and problem solving. In this class we are using a book called COMM 6 Speech Communication  by Deanna D. Sellnow, Kathleen S. Verderber, Rudolph F. Verderber. In this case we focused on chapters 3, 9 and 10. We work in small groups and it was a fantastic experience for me. I was in group #1 called "BEST GROUP " and we discussed chapter 3 about Intercultural communications. We enjoyed working together and we did a great job.   There were two other groups who talked about chapter 9 and 10. They were also spectacular, discussing every detail of the chapters, giving us a good explanation, including pictures, that helped us understanding their point of view.   We made ...

Chapter 3: Intercultural Communication            Culture is the system of shared values, beliefs, attitudes, and norms that guides what is considered appropriate among an identifiable group of people. Culture is developed and endures as people are conditioned by similar life experiences. In a real sense, culture is a way of life. It's the structure of taken-for-granted rules for how and why we believe and behave as we do. It can be understood by the cluster of tangible and intangible rules for living that are passed from generation to generation. Tangible aspects are visible to observers outside the culture, whereas intangible aspects are not typically observed by those outside it.        Dominant culture refers to the learned system of norms held by the majority group of empowered people in a society. The dominant culture of the United States has evolved. Before the 1960s, people immigrating to the United States were expected to e...

          Chapter 3 "Intercultural Communication"     The heart of any culture is its values. Values are the commonly accepted standards of what is considered right and wrong, good and evil, fair and unfair, just and unjust, and so on. Cultures have both ideal and real values.  Ideal values are the ones that members profess to hold, whereas real values are the ones that guide actual behavior. For example: the United States Constitution professes  equal rights and opportunities for all, yet some people are treated unfairly based on sex, race, ethnicity, age, disability, or sexual orientation.     Cultural identity is part of the self-concept  that is based on how closely people associate with both the dominant culture and various co-cultures. If the dominant culture stigmatizes individuals' co-culture, they might downplay this part of their identity to fit into the dominant culture.  Conversely, people may choose to identif...
