Task:
1 Describe: In your reflection of your past communication experience with others, what can be one critical incident you can identify and describe? [Hint: according to our textbook, Intercultural Learning(Jones, et al., 2018), a critical incident is one that “disrupted or made you re-think your assumptions” (p. 26), or one that doesn’t align with a theory/concept you learn from the class. This critical incident, you may interact with people from either the culture you most identify with, or other cultures, as long as this critical incident made you re-think your assumptions of your cultural self.]
2 Interpret: can you provide at least two version of interpretation for the critical incident you identified?
3 Verify: Test your interpretations by consulting someone familiar with the cultural norm, value or worldviews relevant to the critical incident; you can also find resources (news articles, news interview clips, academic research, government report etc.) that can be your source of verification. Your reference can either confirm or reject your interpretations.
4 Explain: After your verification, you can explain your new understanding of incident, by connecting your interpretation with theories and concepts that you have explored in this course. What words have you used and what do these indicate about your perspective of the experience? What assumptions have you noticed in your original description and where might they have come from? What does your description reveal about your values, beliefs or awareness of power? What does this tell you about your cultural-self and others’ cultural practices? [Hint: this is the most critical step and please make sure to cite the theories and concepts you plan to reference here. Please make sure to be as thorough and convincing as possible in your explanation.]
