1. Ethnocentrism
Some of your friends and classmates are extremely ethnocentric, never acknowledging that other cultures have any value. You want to show them that their ethnocentrism is getting in the way of their learning and profiting from the contributions of other cultures in today’s global society. What do you say to your friends and classmates through what channel, and what context? Find an article on ethnocentrism to support your position and attach a copy of it.
2. Relationship Stage
Your friend gives you a gift that contradicts your perception of your relationship stage. The gift is much too intimate and too expensive for the casual nature of what you believe your relationship is. Based on class discussion of effective communication skills what would you say to this person? Give detailed response, and support your points with relevant points.
3. Relationship Dissolution
You realize that your six month relationship with Mr. or Ms. Robinson is going nowhere, and you want to break it off. It is just not exciting and not taking you where you want to go. Based on your understanding of critical thinking, interpersonal, and intercultural sensitivity, what would you say to this person, through what channel, and what context? Provide an appropriate and detailed response, and support your points with relevant points.
