To make cultural value orientations more accessible and practical, we will move away from the research in Module 3 and focus on four key areas to help with the development of intercultural competence within academic, work, and social settings. The four areas we will explore are View of Self, View of Power, View of Obligations, and View of Time.
Note: A fifth key area, View of Communication, will be added in Module 5.
Objectives
By the end of this module, you will be able to:
- discuss and critique a set of integrated models.
- reflect on the concepts of self, power, obligations, and time.
- develop your understanding of the models through practical activities.
