Cross-cultural communication was briefly covered earlier in the course.

"Culture is a dynamic, fluid, ever-changing, and complex force in the lives of individuals, groups, and communities" (Huff, Kline, & Peterson, 2015, p. 22). Communicators must understand this dynamic flow and address the nuances of culture in their work.
