Communication and Globalization  Specific Objectives: After completing this chapter, students will be able to:. Explain how cultural and global issues affect communication, and Appreciate the impact of communication in society and the world.  What is Globalization? Globalization, as defined by the business dictionary, is the worldwide movement toward economic, financial, trade, and communications integration. This movement resulted in the formation of the global village. The global village, as described by McLuhan, is the shrinking of the world into a village by electronic technology, and the speedy movement of information to different places.  Communication and Globalization globalization in communication refers to the growing social connections and the expansion of communities worldwide. It involves the mutual dependence of people and nations, the rise of a common language for better understanding, and the development of global communication skills. These skills include the four macro skills: speaking, listening, reading, and writing, along with the use of non-verbal communication. Developing one's global communication skills can lead to cultural diversity. What is cultural diversity? Cultural diversity refers to people from different cultures or nations respecting each other's differences. This respect for differences results from their cultural divergence, i.e., how people process communication, how other people speak, and how these people see and understand the world around them. What is communication style? A communication style is how you use your verbal and non-verbal skills in communicating your message to your recipient. How your receivers understand your message and how the communication process will prosper will depend on how you shift your style. 3 TYPES OF COMMUNICATION STYLE : Direct or Indirect self-enhancing or self-effacing elaborate or understated.  01 02 03 Direct or Indirect.

Communicating in a Multi-Cultural Setting The multicultural setting, as mentioned previously, is a reality in most industries that we should learn to accept. You cannot evade cross-cultural communication anymore, especially if you work in a company with a diverse workforce. And when you interact in a multicultural setting, you should learn to observe how communication works in a diverse community or organization. Look for similarities and differences in how people from different cultural backgrounds communicate. Also, focus on facts and not entertain your personal biases to avoid conflict.  What is intercultural communication? Intercultural communication is the study of how people from different cultural backgrounds communicate with each other, either in person or through media, and how culture affects communication. It describes the wide range of communication processes and problems that naturally arise within an organization or social context made up of individuals from different religious, social, ethnic, and educational backgrounds.  ? ? ?
