ESSAY ON: Intercultural Communication And Cultural Identity

Number of Pages 8

This research paper: 8 pages in length. The assumptions about cultural 'norms' impact the interviewee's behavior on a day-to-day basis by virtue of making her extraordinarily aware of how she is expected to act in a society so different to her own, which directly relates to the inherent challenges and disadvantages she recognizes as being related to her culture being outside the 'norm.' She responds to those challenges by paying particular attention to how she interacts when in public and enlists the help of friends as sources of strength and support to guide her down the correct path of cultural assimilation. The interviewee was pleased to find that over time, there are certain advantages associated with assimilating to the normative culture, not the least of which includes the sense of belonging that is most often withheld for those who earn such acceptance only after proving the ability - and desire - to integration. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
