Presentation Reflections

 Chapter 3: Intercultural Communication was an intriguing chapter presented by group 1. The chapter defined culture as a system of of shared values, beliefs, and norms that guides a number of people. It covers the different type of cultures, the differences between cultures and how to better communicate with someone from a differing culture. Common potential barriers to effective intercultural communications include anxiety, assumptions, ethnocentrism, stereotyping, and incompatible norms and values. The common strategies to overcome those barriers are to acquire accurate knowledge, adopt an appropriate attitude, and developing culture-centered skills.

Chapter 9: Communicating in groups was an informative chapter presented by group 2. It informs you how to identify different types of groups, describe the healthy characteristics of healthy groups, explain the stages through which groups develop, and employ strategies to manage group conflicts effectively. Group 2 explained the importance of having a healthy relationship with the members of your group and the different types of groups there are. Some characteristics of healthy groups are to have an ethical goal, be interdependent and cohesive, develop and abide by productive norms, being synergetic and accountable. They talked about the types of conflicts that can be found in groups, such as, pseudo-conflict, issue-related group conflict, and personality-related group conflict.

Chapter 10: Group leadership and problem solving was presented by group 3. They explained how leadership functions in a team, described how to run effective meetings, the six steps of systemic problem solving, how to communicate group solutions, and evaluate group effectiveness. Leadership is described as a process where a person influences a group of individuals to achieve a common goal. A formal leader is a person designated to facilitate the group process and the informal emergent leaders are members who help lead the group. They covered the type of rolls different members may hold in shared leadership functions and the responsibilities that come with shared leadership.

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
