Interview a person from an international community about cross-cultural communication. You might want to discuss issues such as these:

■ Verbal and nonverbal communication, including body language.

■ Tone and organization of professional communications.

■ Attitude toward hierarchies and authority.
■ Time awareness differences.
■ Concepts of personal space.
Compare the person’s responses with your own values, and write an email to your instructor reflecting on the similarities and differences.
