How much culture lurks in common conversation? According to Craig Storti, so much that many of our most common, seemingly innocent exchangesーin social settings, on the job, in the world of businessーare cultural minefields waiting to explode. These explosionsーcultural misunderstandingsーcan cause confusion, irritation, even alienation. At the workplace and in the world of business these explosions undermine communication, threaten important relationships, and cost a great deal of time and money; away from work, they strain, even endanger, personal relations. Cross-Cultural Dialogues is a collection of brief conversation (4-8 lines) between an American and someone from another country and culture. Short as each dialogue is, it has buried within it at least one, and usually several breaches of cultural norms which the reader is challenges to figure out. And a challenge it is: the exchanges are so brief and innocuous that even the wariest among us are sandbagged by the dialogue’s hidden subtleties. Ten cultures are represented by the non-Americans in the dialogues: Arab/Middle Eastern, British, Chinese, French, German, Hispanic, Indian, Japanese, Mediterranean/European, and Russian, and the dialogues are grouped according to the setting in which they occur: social, workplace, and business. Whether you’re a learner, trainer, educator, or an armchair interculturalist, you’ll enjoy solving these cultural riddlesーand increase your cultural awareness in the bargain.画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
