• Review the articles, paying particular attention to how language, culture, and society interact.
• Think about the behaviors you would have difficulty giving up or changing if you were required to join another culture. Why would those be difficult for you? Now think about the behaviors you might be able to adapt to another culture, and why.
• Consider some of the challenges in adapting behaviors to another culture, especially when those behaviors may be in opposition to your cultural values. Can these challenges be overcome? Should they?
• Reflect on how you would handle situations where someone from a different culture expected or imposed their cultural beliefs while visiting you. How could you use intercultural competence to help explain what is expected in your culture?
• Post a paragraph explanation of some of the changes a person new to your culture would have to make in the way they communicate to acculturate to their new culture. Think in terms of Accommodation Theory, Code-Switching social and cultural contexts, and our language and cultural bias from the readings.
