Getting to know Intercultural Communication......
Hi guys!
We meet again after our recent
entry about the video of Prof. Riccardi, don’t we? ;)
In this given space, I’d like to
share with you about what intercultural communication is all about and how it
circulates in the society all over the world.
Intercultural communication is not about communication that happened between cultures in several countries, but any groups of people that live up to their own beliefs and values. To make this communication between cultures works, we need to be more understanding, accepting and tolerating. Even when we are with our group of friends, the friendship will become less intimate and boring if we do not have the sense of understanding of their needs. The thought of being considerate to each other despite of our different social backgrounds reflects our inner persona.
I’m sure all of us have encountered many situations whereas we have to choose ourselves first or the other party. It’s sure hard, but try to put ourselves in their shoes. Try to be more accepting than pushing them away.

Other than that, in wider context, we can look into
intercultural interaction that happened in Malaysia.
MALAYSIA BOLEH!
Malay,
Chinese and Indian have been living together in this land for half decade and
there has never been any critical moment that can break this unity apart.
However, challenges and trials would always rise in every day situation and we
need to be smart in handling them. So, have you ever been in a situation where
people called that you as “that Malay”, “that Chinese” or “that Indian”? The
indication of saying up their race probably shows that Malaysian still failed to escape from
racial stereotyping. Malaysians, we need to change this attitude! As I have said this before,
MALAYSIA BOLEH!
