Shоrt Answer/Essаy A mаjоr gоаl of this course has been to help you reduce confusion, feel less uncomfortable, and be more competent when you encounter people whose verbal and nonverbal communication behaviors derive from cultural dynamics different from your own--especially on the micro-cultural level. Nevertheless, there is always a potential for misunderstandings and misinterpretations within intercultural interactions.  You've probably noticed that much of the research and writing in culture emphasizes our DIFFERENCES.   However, now that you are more aware of how cultural frameworks evolve, it's possible to recognize there can be SIMILARITIES in the underlying human motives despite displaying external differences in customs and rituals.  Consider the implications of learning about culture by focusing on Similarities -vs- learning by focusing on Differences. Which approach do you recommend as the best way for a person to develop Intercultural Communication Competence in the 2025-2026 world? "Argue" your recommendation with concrete evidence and reasoning. Be sure to connect-the-dots.  [Points will be given based on the strength of your argument as supported by specific Intercultural Communication references.]
