Kirschbaum, Kris; Hall, Bradford J.
Communication Teacher, v27 n3 p137-140 2013
This article describes an activity for a course in "Intercultural Communication, Communication and Diversity" that is designed to help students better understand the concept of world views in everyday life. It also provides an understanding of how world views may be connected to values, norms, and ethnocentrism in very personal and direct ways. Finally, it helps students to understand the cultural nature of what is often seen as simply a natural fact of life. A list of references and suggested readings is provided.
