Intercultural Communication Paper (25 points) Outcome 3

This assignment allows you to demonstrate mastery of outcome # 2:

Recognize and respond constructively to cultural differences in communication

It consists of two parts:

Part 1:

Complete the INCA survey and develop a  one-page reflection summarizing your results. (Include your  Intercultural Competence Scoresheet)

Part 2: 

Select 3 critical incidents and  analyze them. Frame your analyses of each incident using the cultural  dimensions studied in class. (In other words, identify which cultural  dimensions or values are influencing the situation). Each analysis  should contain at least 3 scholarly references from the course materials that pertain directly to the incident. Your  analysis should be complete and supported by the literature, not an  opinion. You will be evaluated on how well you can form an argument,  that is, present a statement and support it with credible sources. 

Complete both parts in a formal  written paper using APA format. Use headings to mark each part: Part 1  and Part 2. Use subheadings to indicate the discussion of each critical  incident. Please review the requirements for all written assignments on  page 3 of the syllabus.

INCA is an acronym for Intercultural Competency Assessment.  The purpose of the INCA survey is for you to examine your intercultural  awareness and assess your cultural sensitivity. This activity is  designed to help you become aware of your own attitude towards cultural  diversity. The dimensions of cultural competence measured by the INCA  survey are:1) Tolerance of ambiguity, 2) Behavioral flexibility, 3)  Communicative awareness, 4) Knowledge discovery, 5) Respect for  Otherness, and 6) Empathy.
