Communication and Culture in Your Life

by Shawn T. Wahl, Juliann C. Scholl

Where groups of people gather, there is always an elephant in the difference. Elephants are remarkable, complex creatures which take up much space. Likewise, matters of race, culture, and difference require creative and complicated conversations―which moves us beyond “we are all alike” or “we all matter”―to understanding the significance of difference, as both a gift and a challenge. Intercultural Communication in Your Life teaches readers the essential nature of difference, what to do with difference, and how to see difference beyond deficiency. It provides a lens for understanding the complex networks of communication in which we dwell. Readers are invited to study communication and culture as a part of their everyday lived experience including but not limited to popular culture, co-culture, worldview, race, gender, social class, sexual orientation, personal relationships, verbal/nonverbal communication, conflict, new media, and more.
