Journal: Reflections about an interview with a person from another culture

Reflect and write about an interview you conducted with a

person from another culture. Briefly state where and how you

did the interview. Report and discuss interesting aspects of

culture, what intercultural problems the person was facing,

found interesting (e.g., with respect to verbal and nonverbal

behavior, attitudes and values of the interviewee). Try to use

concepts and terms from the course in your discussion.
