Culture and Intercultural Communication: Cross-Cultural Communication

“Culture and communication are so inextricably bound to one another that some cultural anthropologists believe the terms culture and communication are essentially synonymous. This relationship between culture and communication is the key factor in understanding communication, and more specifically, intercultural communication.” from Culture: Our Invisible Teacher

The portrayal of Families and Relationships

As societal-norms evolve, a variety of popular entertainment media (books, movies, TV shows, etc.) feature stories of characters who are a part of traditional and non-traditional family or relationship structures. Examples include but are not limited to: traditional families, cohabitation, single-parent households, blended families, same-sex couples, and grandparents as the primary care-givers for their grandchildren.

In a 3-page paper, written in APA format using proper spelling/grammar, address the following:

1-Describe a book, movie, or TV show that you are familiar with which features characters in families or personal relationships.

2-Select at least two families/relationships from your chosen story and explain the relationship characteristics and dynamics between individuals.

3-Apply terminology presented within the module when analyzing the relationships. Be sure to include APA citations for any resources you used as references.

I do not expect or want you to give me answers you think I want to hear—I want answers that you have embroidered on your heart. Period. Also, do not be afraid of not being “politically correct” in your responses—you will not be offending me or anyone else in this course. Simply be honest.
