Abigail Sanders Post 2


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)
