Week of October 19-25

Intercultural Communication, another love of mine! After having spent time in Kazakhstan, Peru and Russia, Intercultural Communication has become a subject close to my heart.

Here is what's on the schedule for this week:

Participate in Week 9 discussion
Answer one in each of your three posts, at least 24 hours apart:
*Do you agree with anthropologist Ruth Benedict that we are "creatures of our culture" and that our habits, beliefs, and impossibilities are shaped by our culture? If so, how can we break through the limits of our culture?

*Do you believe in the rationality, perfectability, and mutability premises? What social institutions and practices are based on these beliefs?

*Pick one concept from the assigned readings that you found useful or interesting and discuss it.

Reminder: Post 2 responses to your colleagues blogs at least 24 hours apart.
