講義概要/Course description
|
The field of Intercultural (Cross Cultural) Communication is relatively new, with roots in, and close connections to, sociology, anthropology, sociolinguistics, and social psychology.
This course is meant to help students become more “other-aware” as they learn about various dimensions of culture and intercultural issues, and more “self-aware” by experientially uncovering their own deeply held beliefs.
Although much of the theory and many of the concepts related to Intercultural Communication will be covered in this course, it will be accomplished by focusing on contemporary issues and controversies, such as why Japan's closest Asian neighbors never seem to hear its apology for past offenses, how the Olympiads are shaped by the countries and cultures that host them, cultural differences in the acceptance of gays and lesbians in societies around the world, and how civil discourse is affected by disasters such as that experienced on 3/11.

達成目標/Course objectives
|
To understand the communication process that people with different cultural backgrounds go through to negotiate and build relationships, and to improve overall intercultural competence.
We will do this through exploring high-interest topics that touch upon a wide variety of important issues: stereotyping and discrimination, foreign study and cultural adjustment, sexual minorities in society, the work of NGOs, and childhood (or the lack of it) in various cultures.
