Intercultural Relations - WMEC101
A theoretical framework for the analysis of intercultural communication is considered and some of the concepts introduced in WMEC100 are revisited and reapplied. Students are introduced to Marshall McLuhan's notion of the global village and look at the importance of intercultural communication as part of the latest phase of globalisation. Lessons consider the cultural, economic and political implications of intercultural communication across university settings, in the workplace, and in the media. International media flows and media image management are explored. Approaches on how to increase social tolerance and understanding are assessed in the context of how intercultural communication may be used as a tool in conflict situations.
