Chapter Reflections


 Chapter 3: Intercultural Communication 

    From this presentation, Group 1 effectively highlighted the key points listed in the chapter. They first broke down the idea of culture at its core and shared the characteristics that define a culture. They then were able to discuss how each culture is unique in its own way and how many cultures can become intermingled with one another. When people do engage with other cultures, it allows them to understand their own culture better as well as others as they have a reference to spot the differences between the two cultures. In addition the presentation, I was genuinely impressed with how well they were able to present with little time to plan.



Chapter 9: Communication in Groups

    Group 2 started their presentation by clearly defining what a group is. They then discussed the multiple types of groups ranging from family to social to work groups. Further into the presentation, they highlighted why groups are important and how they can be effective, particularly work groups. They defined what makes a healthy group and how to solve and conflicts that may arise within a group. For the overall presentation, they presented their topic clearly and the videos they incorporated helped clarify what makes a group effective.


 

Chapter 10: Group Leadership and Problem Solving 

    During this chapter, Group 3 introduced their topic by discussing the role of leaders in a group and the overall responsibilities of a leader in a group. They then discussed how an effective leader ensures everyone is engaged and understands what is going on within a group. They also discussed the options a group can take when facing a problem. Group 3 effectively and clearly broke down the common steps taken to find a solution to a problem. When a group finally reaches a solution, they explained the various formats a group can take to explain their solution. Overall, they presented their topics clearly and overcame the challenge of members joining/leaving the group.

Reflection on Chapter 3 9 and 10

                                                             Chapter 3  As we learn about chapter 3, we learn about "Culture and Communication" were we learn about the way of life of others and what they considered right and wrong another thing we learn is Co-Cultures which "Communication is also a mechanism through which culture is modified." As we learn about Dominant Cultures in chapter 3 we see that in different continents this kind of cultures is observed. The group in chapter 3 are good presenters, I liked how good they read and thought the way they were going to present and the videos they used to explain the presentation better were great.                                                           Chapter 9 Communication in Groups  In chapter 9 we learn about different ways to do communication in a group or a family, it is consider a group when there are 3 to 20 people.

 Chapter 3: Intercultural Communication was an interesting chapter presented by Group 1, who did an amazing job. Intercultural Communication was about the definition of culture, all the different cultures that exists and how we can communicate with a person from a different culture. This chapter also teach us important aspects about communication, the seven dimensions in which cultures differ and strategies that we can use in order to communicate effectively. When we learn about a person from a different culture we expand our knowledge and our perspective to things and life. Furthermore, we learn that a person can be bicultural, many people in America culture may identify with one or more cultures. Today cultures are also formed by shared believes and values like race, ethnicity, sex and gender.   Chapter 9: Communicating in groups teach us about the different types of groups we can form since social groups and support groups to service groups and family. Group 2 did a great presentati
