Intercultural Communication
- What do you think of a culture in which people sign their last names first?
- What is your reaction when two signatures appear at the bottom of a business letter?
- Why don't people put the month first, then the day, rather than day first, then the month?
- What is your impression of a foreign letter that is intentionally not concise?
- Some salutations are overly formal; so are endings. Is that a concern when your letters have been more casual?
- How do you react to long sentences in letters when you were taught to write shorter sentences?
- What's your reaction when a letters ends without a clear statement of purpose or action?
- What is your feeling toward a meeting in which there is little discussion and little comment until the senior and usually older person speaks and recommends an answer?
- How do you react when writing problems such as errors in choice of verb tense, prepositions, and articles frequently occur in writing?
