Further Discussion

Another concept from the book that I feel needs further discussion is the concept of intercultural communication. America is one of the most diverse countries yet we still have so many problems accepting those different from us. Racism and discrimination have been constant problems throughout America’s history, which is kind of ridiculous considering how diverse we have become; you’d think by now we would have all learned how to get along. It is so important to become educated on the topic of intercultural communication so we can learn to be accepting of cultures different from our own. We need to respect other cultures, races, sexes, etc. – just because someone is not the same as you may be doesn’t mean they are any less of a human being.

With immigration being a growing topic of interest, it is even more important to learn and practice intercultural communication.
