| (Darla Deardorff) | ||
| Class ID# 12686 | ||
| As the diverse cultures of the world become more interdependent, we have a growing need to understand people whose cultural backgrounds differ from our own. By exploring values, we can increase our understanding of cultural traditions and behaviors and, as a result, improve our ability to communicate cross-culturally. This interactive introduction to cultural value concepts will include participatory exercises. Darla K.
