One of the major reasons that foreign expatriates have difficulty doing business in the United States is that they do not understand American slang. A business executive recently gave the following three examples of statements that had no direct meaning for her because she was unfamiliar with slang: “he was laughing like hell.” “Don’t worry; it’s a piece of cake.” “Let’s throw these ideas up against the wall and see if any of them stick.” Why did the foreign expat have trouble understanding these statements? Can you phrase these statements in a simpler language so a foreigner can understand them?
At a second job interview, the candidate was asked whether he was Muslim and asked his name. When he gave his name, the employer said they would call him "George" because it was easy to pronounce. The candidate was also asked at the interview about his need for a mosque, what country he was from, and whether he understood what "slang" was. The candidate was not appointed to the position.
The interviewer said that he was just trying to be friendly and helpful to the candidate and he did not mean any offense. The candidate felt he was being discriminated against and unfairly targeted.
Do you think there was any unfairness or is it acceptable to conduct the interview in this manner? Please explain your answer with your logic.
You are on your first business visit to one of the South Asian countries. You feel confident about your ability to speak the language (you studied the language in school and have taken a refresher course), and you decide to use it. During introductions, you want to break the ice by insisting that everyone call you by your first name. Speculate as to the reaction.

Please helparrow_forwardMy PRICA score was 36 while my PRCA score was 95. Having a PRCA score over 75 and even 80 shows that I have general to high levels of communication apprehension. My PRICA score reflected that I have low to median intercultural communication apprehension. I expected both scores to be relatively lower, so I was surprised to see such a high score on the PRCA. I guess that I do feel intimidated in most conversations, and I never want to intrude or put my two senses into any conversation in fear that I would be looked down on. Maybe I feel more comfortable talking with people from other cultures because I can learn from them, and I feel as though they might not judge me so easily for my thoughts and opinions. In the textbook culture is an "accumulated pattern of values, beliefs, and behaviors shared by an identifiable group of people with a common history and verbal and nonverbal symbol systems" (Neuliep, 2021, p. 12).

- “Imagine you got a job in PDO Company and were appointed as a Public Relation Officer in the Communication Department where you share office with Salim and Anwar. Salim welcomed you with a shy smile and doesn’t look like a sociable person because he is a man of few words. Anwar, on the other side, is outspoken and his voice goes loud sometimes without considering the professional setting. Sometimes Anwar inconsiderably will light a cigarette in the office which is annoying to you as well as Salim, but since Salim is a senior to you in the place, he should have stepped up and asked Anwar to stop smoking yet he didn’t. One day, the manager asked Anwar to go out for a field trip to write a report, but Anwar refused to do the task and started arguing with the manager disrespectfully with a loud voice and declined his request”. 1- Define the three common personality characters: Submissiveness, Assertiveness and Aggressiveness 2- Identify the characters of both Salim and Anwar? 3-…arrow_forwardPlease write an essay on the topic “How to become more competent in intercultural communication”.

- Please look at my biased language/political correctness lecture to prepare you for the following prompt.While political correctness is necessary to promote respect for everyone, do you believe that, in some cases, it has gone too far?arrow_forwardOne of the strengths of the United States as a nation is the prevalence of business. In the US, business is conducted much differently than in other countries. In high context cultures, you must be very careful with: the tone of your voice, facial expressions, gestures, posture and other non-verbal cues when meeting with other businesspeople. It also helps to come from a well-known family and to have a strong title in your organization. These factors can make or break your career. In the US, these things are important to a small degree, but is greatly overshadowed by the "bottom line." Here, business is more about direct speaking, money, and contracts. Businesses care about the value you offer them and the money they can make as opposed to your personal background and non-verbal communications. When comparing the two different models, do you believe the US model based on transactions, value, and money is superior or should other factors matter more?
