武汉大学研究生英语作业 My ideas about Intercultural Communication 作文
My ideas about Intercultural Communication Communication exists everywhere, no matter what you do, you just can’t avoid it. People give messages and get understand and have a exchange by languages, gestures and so on——they are all communications. People are born to communicate, though someone refuses to admit it. Culture plays an important role in communication. People from different cultures may have diverse thoughts, reactions which are influenced by their own culture profoundly.
As life changes with each passing day, people get more opportunities to communicate with foreigners, then problems appear——people can’t catch every meaning precisely from each other, so attention is forced to be paid to intercultural communication. We can infer from these days’ studies: intercultural communication occurs when people from different cultures exchange verbal and nonverbal messages. Once you chat with a person from different culture which you don’t know well, you may quickly realize that how distinct the ways of thinking, chatting, and acting you have. Maybe we can call it the “personality” of a culture, one special thing that people must carefully cope with, for unsuccessful intercultural communication usually resulted in unsuccess.
As culture shapes people’s life, words of good will from you may turn to a terrible abuse, a friendly gesture may turn to thorough contempt. To experience a comfortable intercultural communication, the following tips are to be kept in mind. First, every culture has its dignity. Don’t be too pride of your own culture, you can never get too much knowledge about a different culture. Second, irritability leads to unsmooth communication. Try to see the bright side and try to clear up a misunderstanding, irritability can solve nothing at all. Third, develop a thinking method of a different culture. As one masters a foreign
language and gets much information about the cultural background, thinking just like a foreigner is hard to realize, though, one can generally imitate the thinking way, which may go a long way.

Intercultural Communication In recent years, it is widely acknowledged that interculturalcommunication has been becoming an increasingly common phenomenon. From my point of view, a number of factors could account for this trend. First and foremost, the development of transportation.Now jet planes fly everywhere. It used to take months to travel from Shanghai to Los Angeles, but now it takes only 12 hours. It is now much easier for people to move from one country to another. People of different countries and races get together much oftener than before. What’s more, the advancementof communication means. Nowadays people get in touch with each other in various ways, through internet, telephone, mobile phone and so on. These efficient means sharply promote intercultural communication to a large extent. Besides, the ongoingof economicglobalization.Since economic globalization lead to the production and market globalization, more and more multinational corporations now operate in quite a few countries. Theiremployees are of different ethnic groups and from different countries. Last but not the list, the increasing of https://www.360docs.net/doc/4f15006609.html,lions of people now move across national borders every year. Therefore, all these causes contribute to the fact that intercultural communication is now a daily occurrence. Its importance now is being recognized by a growing number of people.

Besides its many uses in commerce, office work, and manufacturing, it will also improve health care, provide new ways to shop, enable professional and social encounters across the globe, and generally permeate the thousands of things we do in the course of our daily lives. It will help us pursue old and new pleasures, and it will encourage new art forms, which may be criticized but will move art forward, as new tools have always done.
