About this Assignment
Effective intercultural communication requires an understanding of the various aspects of culture and how people respond to different cultures in a variety of settings. Beyond understanding concepts such as bias and stereotyping, effective communication includes the ability to understand the nuances of both verbal and non-verbal communication, how these are reflections of culture, and how strategies can be developed for more effective intercultural communication. For your final assignment, in a paper of approximately 2,500-3,000 words, address the prompts below using concepts you learned from the course to support your analysis.
Project Prompt
Select a culture other than your own. Compare and contrast your selected culture with your own on these dimensions in terms of how they influence communication:
Core values
Religious belief systems
Gender roles
Verbal and non-verbal communication
Communication context
Then, analyze how characteristics of both cultures influence communication in the following settings and identify the issues and opportunities that exist for each:
Education
Healthcare
Business settings
Finally, formulate strategies for improving intercultural communication in these settings including the development of cultural intelligence (CQ)
Using Sources

Description:
For this assignment, you will create a slide presentation about words, their meanings, and the importance of context. This assignment will help solidify your understanding of effective verbal communication.
Instructions:
Review the rubric for PowerPoint Presentations and the section of your textbook and in the learning activities for this module on verbal communication and language.
Think about a series, television program, or movie that people other than your friends, or co-workers, would have a hard time understanding, or getting the jokes.  For example, if you invited your parents or grandparents to join you and your friends for a movie night, which film would they have the most difficult time understanding the words, jokes, gags, pop cultural references, and would miss some or most of what the characters are saying to each other?  You could “flip the script” and consider a series or film that someone much younger than you just would not understand.
Pick a television series or movie that fits the description above. You are designing a PowerPoint presentation to help the audience members understand the characters and their verbal messages with clear explanations of what they actually mean.  You are the movie translator. 
The presentation should be engaging and informative.
Connect your observations and experiences to a scholarly source like our textbook.
Remember that PowerPoint is available, for free, through your Office 365 Account
If for any reason you choose not to create a PowerPoint, you can write a two-three page paper, not including the title page and references page, about three-five points related to the topics listed above. Include an introduction paragraph, conclusion paragraph, and cited support.  .

i’d like you to demonstrate to me what you’ve learned this semester about strategic communication, using your thoughts on an organization currently that is undergoing an organizational change or instability
Choose one of the following issues currently found in the news (see four options below). You may choose to approach this issue from whichever topic we’ve covered this semester (e.g., government, public opinion, media relations, employee relations, ethics and law, etc.), or a combination of as many topics as you choose. Make sure you identify audiences (stakeholders) impacted and what you would counsel the organization if you were hired to advise the organization about this organizational change, with regard to messaging, message management, and message distribution strategies. I have included a few news stories about each issue/organization. These are not exhaustive resources; rather information for you to familiarize yourself with each issue.
Your paper should be 5-7 pages; double spaced; 12-point font with 1″ margins; and using MLA citations and bibliography (textbook included).

Write and Answer FIVE questions from every chapter in the textbook. Please make them detailed and specific to the text . I will upload the chapters 

Instructions
Chose and investigate a recent communication crisis from the news to analyze (The situation does not have to be current, but recent and you must provide the source in your bibliography). Briefly summarize what happened and discuss what approaches the organization employed according to those we discussed in class with their communication to their publics. Which publics did they address? Do you think this was the best strategy? What could the organization have done differently and how might the outcome have changed?
Your paper should be three (3) to seven (7) pages; double spaced; one-inch margins. Cite your source(s);
