Intercultural Communication: Cultural Biases and Intercultural Contact
It is a fact that culture differs from one another based on the values, norms, beliefs, other social practices of people in one culture than the people of another. Hence, there are some functions of cultural patterns that also differ in many ways. In a culture, values are the factors that define what is fine and what is not or what is moral and immoral and so on.
Every person of a culture has a number of concerns and problems to be addressed and there is the existence of the solutions that everyone in culture has for the problems facing them. Beyond that, different cultures have different values and have different cultural patterns. The problems which can be witnessed normally mainly include the nature of humans, their relationships, shape or form a=of activities and orientation of people to the time.
Here, self-orientation is also a factor that determines how the identity of people is shaped as well as what motives they have in their culture which are honored to the society. For the purpose to study the culture from different perspectives, the theories of Strodbeck and Kluckhohn can be found highly credible. The theories of these both are credible because there is a strong and almost very close relationship between their theories which are mainly based on intercultural competence by their statements about preferred choices made by cultures. Racism, based on the definition of Merriam-Webster Dictionary, racism is a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a specific race (Joann Brown, N. P). While I completely agree with this definition as it fits the best.
The cultural diversity of the US is accounted for different various cultural groups live in the US which mixes the culture of America, and the melting pot metaphor is the very initial metaphor that describes the US culture. While in terms of components of the US culture, there are some components that best describe the culture of the US such as nation, Race, and Ethnicity, etc.
