Perspectives on Global Culture

Catalog description

This class is about understanding the power of culture and its impact on communicating with others.  This is an important part of being an effective professional in the modern world, and is also part of being a better human being.  To hone one's cultural communication skills one must understand his or her own cultural worldview.  For this reason, the class includes an ample amount of self-reflection, and requires learners to be open to understanding both themselves, as well as others, in new ways. This has the potential to be an enlightening experience – especially as students interact with, and learn from, students from other cultures.
