This
week I've learned about the formation of social groups via in-group and
out-group differences. By creating certain behaviors or visible markers, a
person may be perceived as either belonging or not belonging to the
majority or minority group. These differences can lead to either a personal
feeling of belonging or not, which can lead to undesirable (and possibly
unpleasant) consequences. This is applicable to my everyday life because
with this knowledge, I can choose to which group I belong.
Next,
I’ve learned about how to communicate intercultural communication to different
groups of people with varying levels of intercultural knowledge. By recognizing
how different groups learn and to which level they can learn, and what
knowledge they must possess to make an informed decision on how they treat
others, any one person can more effectively educate them. Having learned this,
I feel like I am more able to tailor small group education to varying small
groups when using my knowledge of intercultural comm.
^Legal discrepancies like these could possibly be avoided
with clearer and more prompt intercultural communication. (in this case between
the government and the population)
