In this session you will be challenged to gain the perspective of someone else’s point of view. For this assignment you will complete the following:
Set up an interview with someone who experiences cultural diversity in his or her workplace, school, or neighborhood, etc. Interview someone about his or her experiences with others of diverse culture.
Design four questions to help frame your interview with this person — two from each chapter (Communication between Cultures – by Samovar, Porter, McDaniel, Roy; chapters 6 & 7) of our readings for this session. These questions should be posed to encourage clear and comprehensive responses and to delve into your interviewee’s experiences with others of varying cultural backgrounds. (Provide these four questions in your paper.)
Conduct your interview. Ask him or her to support their responses to the questions posed with examples, stories, etc.
Write a paper which summarizes your interviewee’s responses to each of your questions and includes examples shared during the interview.
