I'm sure everyone did the homework reading, so I want to begin today's class on intercultural communication. My first question is "Why do we need to study intercultural communication?" Would anyone like to answer? Student 1: Yes, I'll try to answer that. People may think the way they do things or the way they view the world is "natural" and "correct." When they encounter someone doing things differently, they regard it as "strange" or "wrong." Having an awareness of intercultural communication can help us understand and deal with misunderstandings when they arise. I think it is especially important these days because people travel overseas for many reasons, such as work, study, or vacations. The opportunities to meet people from other countries have increased greatly. With this increased contact, there are more chances for trouble between people from different cultures. Professor: Right. As you said, studying intercultural communication is useful because [ 32 ]. {1} intercultural knowledge encourages people to study in a foreign country {2} some ways of living are considered to be more correct than others {3} there were many more cases of intercultural communication in the past {4} we can cope with cultural misunderstandings more easily and smoothly Professor: Let's move on to the concept of "culture." You should know that because culture is all around us all the time, it is difficult to define. Therefore, we tend to discuss culture in terms of characteristics. Can anyone give an example of a cultural characteristic? Student 2: The characteristic I found interesting is that people belonging to a culture have the same values, beliefs, and behaviors. Values are things that are felt to be of worth, like the Japanese concept of "mottainai." Beliefs are things that people believe to be true, and these cover a wide variety of areas. For example, people in a culture might share beliefs about the kinds of foods that are unacceptable. Behavior is about people's actions, and people in the same culture can often be seen behaving similarly. Professor: That's a good explanation. That means [ 33 ]. {1} having the same beliefs as other cultural groups is important {2} people from the same cultural group usually behave differently {3} people's attitudes to food determine which cultures they are from {4} shared behaviors may make you a member of a cultural group Student 3: Can I ask a question? Professor: Of course. Student 3: What about people who always seem to be different from those around them? Sometimes I don't do things in the same way as my friends. So, if we need to have the same behavior for group membership, does that mean those who are not the same aren't members of their cultural group? Professor: That's a good question. To answer it we need to think in terms of cultural norms rather than individual examples. Student 3: What is a cultural norm? Professor: Well, a cultural norm is a rule or standard of behavior shared by members of a cultural group. Student 3: Then what happens to the people who do not follow the cultural norms? Professor: Well, they may belong to a smaller group, or a sub-cultural group, but that group is still considered to be part of the culture. This is true as long as their actions are within the acceptable limits of behavior for that particular culture. Student 3: So, am I right in thinking that [ 34 ]? {1} a culture contains groups that make up one larger group {2} acting differently isn't allowed for group membership {3} it is important to be in the group that follows the cultural norms {4} the number of sub-cultural groups should be limited Professor: Yes. I hope this has cleared things up for you. OK. I think we're ready to move on and think about another characteristic of culture. ※マーク部分の□や下線部は[ ]で、マル１は{1}で表記しています。
