Communication Strategies

Complete a reflection paper on different intercultural exposure For this reflection paper you will need to expose yourself to a culture different than your native culture(s). These “exposures” can take a wide variety of forms, and you are allowed a bit of creative license as to their nature; but whatever you do, the exposure needs to be for longer than 20 minutes and involve substantial cultural exposure. Good examples would be watching a movie from a different culture (i.e., a movie filmed by a culture different than your own, not a movie filmed by your own culture set in a different culture), having a conversation with a person from a different culture than your own, or going to a different cultural neighbourhood (e.g., the International District of Seattle) and observing the daily life of the people that live there. The Asia University America Program (AUAP) on campus often is in search of domestic students to volunteer in their classes, so reaching out to them could be a great option as each classroom volunteering experience could count for a different exposure reflection. Bad examples of exposures (i.e., things that wouldn’t count as appropriate) would be just going to an “ethnic” food restaurant or reading a Wikipedia page about a different culture for 30 minutes. If you ever have a question about whether an exposure event would be a good choice, just email me and ask.After exposing yourself to another culture for at least 30 minutes you will be required to write a two-page (minimum), double-spaced reflection paper and submit it to one of the reflection paper submission boxes on Canvas. In each reflection paper you will briefly describe what you did to expose yourself to another culture (include the when, where, how, and how long), then focus the majority of your paper on identifying different intercultural concepts and theories in what you observed (concepts and theories are the topics we cover in lectures and the readings, see the final paper assignment document for some examples of what you could be looking at). You don’t have to do outside research for these reflection papers but be sure to focus the majority of your reflection on the connections with course-related concepts and theories. Doing so will provide you with more explicit examples to draw from for your final paper. In order to encourage your completion of exposure.

Assignment: Write the Discussion Section for the paper Attachments are included about what the paper is about, as well as, an “example” paper with a discussion section so you have an idea of what it needs to include. Your discussion section should comment on what you have learned from your research. It should be organized so that it relates directly to your research questions and hypothesis, and related back to your literature review. You want to avoid introducing new ideas here or discussing tangential issues not directly related to your study. This is the only part of the research paper where personal opinion or speculation beyond what is in the data is allowed. This is your opportunity to elaborate on the significance of your research, and comment on how it fits into the current scholarly conversation on your topic.
