Week 16: Post #2

2). Pick on other concept from the book that you feel needs further discussion?

While I know that many of my other classmates have already pointed this out, I think we have covered some really important facets of communication studies.  However, I do think that this class could have been even more beneficial if we could have explored the impact of cross cultural communication.  I think that we could have taken a harder look at what goes on within our own country to help improve the way we communicate with each other.  I know that ethnocentrism is still a huge issue within this society and while there are people who are still ignorant to differences within cultures, we are still going to face obstructions in maximizing our potential for effective communication.  I know that exploring these concepts would be very a very extensive process, and some might eve say that this might even cross over into sociological concepts, but I think that we could benefit from the increased knowledge.
