Intercultural communication

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this articles because as a student studying the different disciplines of communications, I found intercultural communication to be the most interesting and beneficial to our society today. This article is important because it offers a variety of descriptions and theories that conceptualize how to recognize and respect those of other cultures. My preliminary impress of it is educational and very descriptive, the way it organized its theoretical aspect of the discipline, but I found it equally beneficial they way it offers its practical components. It was interesting to see they way it offered some basic tools to improve ones intercultural communication and even cross culture strategies.

Evaluate the article
Firstly, I think this article did an excellent job introducing the topic of intercultural communication prominently and concisely, allowing many to understand what will be discussed throughout the article. As I previously stated, I found it very interesting and a great choice that the pieces divide both the theoretical and practical use of intercultural communication. Additionally, I think that doing so allows readers and researchers to better understand how to look at it from two points of view. Secondly, analyzing the content of this article, I think it was a great idea to separate and go into detail about both verbal and nonverbal communication. They are two essential components to understanding intercultural communications and messages shared between different cultures. Taking a look at the verbal communication section, I think it was a great addition to add examples of non-verbal cues and factors that affect nonverbal communication, especially for readers to visualize how these forms may be applied to their everyday life. I also think it was very beneficial to add a short description of language barriers; however, I would have liked to see more detail. Since language barriers cause a significantly large amount of conflict within communication, I think it is worth mentioning the different ways they can be displayed across different cultures or solved.
