Communication and Globalization
Globalization
 globalization is the process by which people and goods move easily across
borders. Principally, it's an economic concept
 Globalization has brought many benefits to many people. But not to everyone.
How globalization works
In simple terms, globalization is the process by which people and goods
move easily across borders. Principally, it's an economic concept – the
integration of markets, trade and investments with few barriers to slow
the flow of products and services between nations. There is also a
cultural element, as ideas and traditions are traded and assimilated.

Analyzation
What is Globalization Anyway? By Alex Gray
 How did globalization happen?
One example is the Silk Road, when trade spread rapidly between China
and Europe via an overland route.
Merchants carried goods for trade back and forth, trading silk as well as
gems and spices and, of course, coffee. (In fact, the habit of drinking
coffee in a social setting originates from a Turkish custom, an example of
how globalization can spread culture across borders.)
What's good about it?
 Globalization has led to many millions of people being lifted out of poverty.
For example, when a company like Starbucks buys coffee from farmers in
Rwanda, it is providing a livelihood and a benefit to the community as a whole.
A multinational company's presence overseas contributes to those local
economies because the company will invest in local resources, products and
services. Socially responsible corporations may even invest in medical and

Globalization has not only allowed nations to trade with each other, but also
to cooperate with each other as never before. Take the Paris Agreement on
Climate Change, for instance, where 195 countries all agreed to work towards
reducing their carbon emissions for the greater global good.
 What's bad about it?
While some areas have flourished, others have floundered as jobs and commerce move
elsewhere.
Steel companies in the UK, for example, once thrived, providing work for hundreds of thousands
of people. But when China began producing cheaper steel, steel plants in the UK closed down
and thousands of jobs were lost.
globalization operates mostly in the interests of the richest countries, with most of the world's
collective
Basically, done wisely (in the words of the International Monetary Fund) globalization could lead
to
"unparalleled peace and prosperity". Done poorly, "to disaster".

Lesson 5
What is Intercultural communication?
 Science explains that each person is genetically unique. except for identical twins, each
person has a unique genetic composition. This uniqueness becomes even more
heightened because of individual experiences. Humans are formed by forces other than
genetics.
 Family background, Religious Affiliations, Educational Achievements, Socio-cultural
forces, economic conditions, emotional states, and other factors shape human identities.
Because of this, no two people can ever be exactly the same.
Communicating Across Cultures by Carol Kinsey Goman (2011)
(1) Communicating across cultures is challenging. Each culture has set rules that its
members take for granted. Few of us are aware of our own cultural biases because
cultural imprinting is begun at a very early age. And while some of a culture's knowledge,
rules, beliefs, values, phobias, and anxieties are taught explicitly, most of the information
is absorbed subconsciously.
(2) The challenge for multinational communication has never been greater. Worldwide
business organizations have discovered that intercultural communication is a subject of
importance—not just because of increased globalization, but also because their
domestic workforce is growing more and more diverse, ethnically and culturally.
(3) We are all individuals, and no two people belonging to the same culture are guaranteed
to respond in exactly the same way. However, generalizations are valid to the extent that
they provide clues on what you will most likely encounter when dealing with members of
a particular culture.

High context vs Low context
High-context cultures (Mediterranean, Slav, Central European, Latin American, African, Arab,
Asian, American-Indian) leave much of the message unspecified, to be understood through
context, nonverbal cues, and between-the-lines interpretation of what is actually said.
By contrast, low-context cultures (most Germanic and English-speaking countries) expect
messages to be explicit and specific.
Sequential vs. Synchronic
In sequential cultures (like North American, English, German, Swedish, and Dutch),
businesspeople give full attention to one agenda item after another.
In synchronic cultures (including South America, southern Europe and Asia) the flow of
time is viewed as a sort of circle, with the past, present, and future all interrelated. This
viewpoint influences how organizations in those cultures approach deadlines, strategic thinking,
investments, developing talent from within, and the concept of "long-term" planning.
Affective vs. Neutral
In international business practices, reason and emotion both play a role. Which of these
dominates depends upon whether we are affective (readily showing emotions) or
emotionally neutral in our approach. Members of neutral cultures do not telegraph their feelings,
but keep them carefully controlled and subdued. In cultures with high affect, people show their
feelings plainly by laughing, smiling, grimacing, scowling, and sometimes crying, shouting, or
walking out of the room.
Reason and emotion are part of all human communication. When expressing ourselves,
we look to others for confirmation of our ideas and feelings. If our approach is highly emotional,
we are seeking a direct emotional response: "I feel the same way." If our approach is highly
neutral, we want an indirect response: "I agree with your thoughts on this."

World Englishes (WE)
-
Stands for localized varieties of English as they are
used or spoken in certain areas.
According to Bautista and Gonzalez (2006), the structural characteristic of these
new varieties differ.
In terms of social features, differences can also be highlighted through these
following varieties of English within the same Speech Community:
1. Acrolect – comes to the closest to the standard.
2. Basilect – digresses thoroughly from it and comes closest to the pidgin.
3. Mesolect – middle variety is midway between Acrolect and Basilect.
4. Edulects – these varieties resulting from certain types of education ascertained by social
class but are conveyed or transferred by the kind of instruction of the school.
According to Kachru and Nelson (2006) claim that these varieties of English are influenced by
the local language/s in various areas of their grammars and exhibit specific phonological,
lexical, syntactic and discoursal characteristics.

Communication Strategies
Communication strategies are the blueprints for how this information will be exchanged.
Types of Communication Strategies
Communication strategies can be verbal, nonverbal, or visual. Integrating all the
strategies together will allow you to see the most success. This allows a business to meet
employee needs and increase workplace knowledge.
The following are the important things to remember:
•
Verbal communication strategies can be broken down into the two categories of
written and oral communication. Written strategies consist of avenues such as e-mail,
text, and chat. Examples that fall into the oral category are phone calls, video chats, and
face-to-face conversation.
•
Nonverbal communication strategies consist of mostly visual cues, such as body
language, facial expressions, physical distance between communicators, or the tone of
your voice. These cues are typically not intended. However, it is important to realize the
message you are sending. Otherwise, you may be saying one thing, yet the receiver is
hearing another.
•
Visual communication strategies can be seen through signs, webpages, and
illustrations. These strategies are used in the workplace to draw attention and provide
documentation. Human resources is required to post certain visuals throughout the
workplace to comply with safety laws.

Physical media
 With physical media we mean channels where the person who is talking can be seen
and heard by the audience. The whole point here is to be able to not only hear the
messages but also to see the body language and feel the climate in the room.
 This does not need to be two-way channels. In certain situations the receiver expect
physical communication. This is the case especially when dealing with high concern
messages, e.g. organizational change or down sizing. If a message is perceived as
important to the receiver they expect to hear it live from their manager.
The following are example of Physical Media:
•
•
•
•
Large meetings, town hall meetings - This channel works very well when you need to get
across strategic and important messages to a large group of people at the same time
Department meetings (weekly meetings) - Weekly meetings are also used to follow up
on information from large meetings, management team meetings etc from a “what’s-in-itfor-us-perspective”.
Up close and personal (exclusive meetings) - This is a form of meetings where, often, a
senior manager meets with a “random” selection of employees to discuss and answer
questions.
Viral communication or word of mouth - Or viral marketing as it is also called works
external as well as internal and refer to marketing techniques that use pre-existing social
networks to produce increases in awareness or knowledge through self-replicating viral
processes. It can be word-of-mouth delivered

With mechanical media we mean written or electronic channels. These channels can be used
as archives for messages or for giving the big picture and a deeper knowledge. Typically
though, because it is written, it is always interpret by the reader based on his or her mental
condition. Irony or even humor rarely travels well in mechanical channels.
•
E-mail It is suitable mainly for up-to-date and “simple” messages and where
there is no risk of misunderstanding, E-mail is an important supplement to weekly
meetings and the Intranet.
•
Weekly letters or newsletters - Managers that have large groups of employees and
who has difficulties in meeting all of them often choose to publish a personally weekly
letter.
•
Personal letters - At special occasions it can be justified to send a personal letter to
employees in order to get attention to a specific issue. E.g. pat on the back letter after
extra ordinary achievements.
•
Billboards - But the good thing with the billboard is that you can use billboards to inform
people who does not have computers and/or access to the Intranet or to reach people
that work part time and does not attend weekly meetings.
•
Intranet - The Intranet is of course one of the most used types of communication
medium and a very important communication channel and work tool for you as a
manager, but it is also your job to help your employees prioritize and pick out the
information on the Intranet.
•
Magazines or papers - A Magazine offers the opportunity to deepen a specific issue,
explain context, describing consequences or tell a story. It also has the opportunity to
reach many employees.
•
SMS (Short Message Service) - Or text messaging to the mobile phone is one of the
new types of communication medium and not a very widely used channel but where it is
used it is proven very effective.
•
Social media - Wikipedia describe social media as “Media designed to be disseminated
through social interaction, created using highly accessible and scalable publishing
techniques. Social media supports the human need for social interaction, using Internet-

5. Job Interview
All a job interview does is give employers the chance to meet you and see if they like
you enough to give you a job.
Follow these 5 easy steps and you will stand the best chance of getting a job:
a. What type of interview is it?
The three main types of interview:
•
One-to-one interview – The most common type… You are interviewed by just one
person (usually the boss!) and it’s a simple question and answer session.
•
Panel interview – A bit scarier… This is where you’re interviewed by more than one
person at a time – expect two or more interviewers to be in the room with you.
•
Competency interview – The most advanced interview type. You’ll be tested on
different situations e.g. ‘tell me about a time when you showed good teamwork’.
b. What should I wear?
It may sound silly but you must plan your interview outfit. You don’t necessarily
have to wear a suit, depending on what job you’re going for, but you should follow a few
simple dress code rules
c. Practice these interview questions
YOU MUST PRACTICE INTERVIEW QUESTIONS! OK, that was a bit dramatic, but this
is where many people mess up. By just spending a little bit of time looking at common interview
questions and answers you can really improve your chances of getting the job
d. Body language in the interview

It may sound weird but body language has a big part to play in your job interview. For
example, if you sit slouched in your chair with your arms crossed you could come across badly,
even if your answers are good
e.Don’t forget to ask your own questions
At the end of almost every interview, the interviewer will say to you ‘do you have any
questions for me?’ If you shrug your shoulders and get tongue-tied then you can look
uninterested. Go in with a few interview questions of your own prepared, instead
6. Application Letter and Resume
A letter of application, also known as a cover letter, is a document sent with your
resume to provide additional information about your skills and experience.
The letter of application is intended to provide detailed information on why you are a qualified
candidate for the job.
A resume is a one- or two-page formal document that job hopefuls submit to hiring
managers and employment recruiters as a means of itemizing their work experience,
educational background, and special skills. Successful resumes entice potential employers to
invite applicants to interview for the position.

Abstract
Often only 100 to 300 words, the abstract generally provides a broad overview and is
never more than a page. It describes the essence, the main theme of the paper. It includes the
research question posed, its significance, the methodology, and the main results or findings.
Footnotes or cited works are never listed in an abstract. Remember to take great care in
composing the abstract. It's the first part of the paper the instructor reads.
•
Introduction and Statement of the Problem
A good introduction states the main research problem and thesis argument. Never
provide a lengthy justification for your topic before it has been explicitly stated.
•
Limitations of Study
Indicate as soon as possible what you intend to do, and what you are not going to
attempt. You may limit the scope of your paper by any number of factors, for example, time,
personnel, gender, age, geographic location, nationality, and so on.
•
Literature Review
The research process uncovers what other writers have written about your topic.
Your education paper should include a discussion or review of what is known about the
subject and how that knowledge was acquired. Once you provide the general and
specific context of the existing knowledge, then you yourself can build on others'
research.
•
Main Body of Paper/Argument
It's where the author supports the thesis and builds the argument. It contains most of the
citations and analysis. This section should focus on a rational development of the thesis with
clear reasoning and solid argumentation at all points. A clear focus, avoiding meaningless
digressions, provides the essential unity that characterizes a strong education paper.
•

After spending a great deal of time and energy introducing and arguing the points in the
main body of the paper, the conclusion brings everything together and underscores what it all
means. A stimulating and informative conclusion leaves the reader informed and well-satisfied.
•
Appendices
Education research papers often contain one or more appendices. An appendix
contains material that is appropriate for enlarging the reader's understanding, but that
does not fit very well into the main body of the paper. Such material might include tables,
charts, summaries, questionnaires, interview questions, lengthy statistics, maps,
pictures, photographs, lists of terms, glossaries, survey instruments, letters, copies of
historical documents, and many other types of supplementary material.
