Define intercultural communication

Intercultural communication principles guide the process of exchanging meaningful and unambiguous information
across cultural boundaries, in a way that preserves mutual

respect and minimises
antagonism. For these purposes, culture is a

shared system of symbols, beliefs, attitudes, values, expectations, and

norms of behaviour. It refers to coherent groups of people whether

resident wholly or partly within state territories, or existing without

residence in any particular territory. Hence, these principles may have

equal relevance when a tourist seeks help, where two well

established

independent corporations attempt to merge their operations, and where

politicians attempt to negotiate world peace
. Two factors have raised

the importance of this topic:


improvements in communication and transportation technology have made it possible for previously stable

cultures to meet in unstructured situations, e.g. the internet opens

lines of communication wit
hout
mediation
, while
budget airlines

transplant ordinary citizens into unfamiliar milieux. Experience proves

that merely crossing cultural boundaries can be considered threatening,

while positive attempts to interact may provoke defensive responses.

Misunderstanding may be compounded by either an exaggerated sensitivity

to possible slights, or an exaggerated and over

protective fear of

giving offence;

some groups believe that the phenomenon of globalisation has reduced cultural diversity and so reduc
ed the

opportunity for misunderstandings, but characterising people as a

homogeneous market is simplistic. One product or brand only appeals to

the material aspirations of one self
-
selecting ***** of buyers, and its

sales performance will not affect the va
st multiplicity of factors that

may separate the cultures.
