Hum Tum

This scene from Hum Tum is a great way to introduce the Dynamic Conflict style (indirect communication and highly expressive in the lower right quadrant) of the Intercultural Conflict Style Inventory (ICS). The Intercultural Conflict Styles Activity + Role Play in the HubICL (link provided in post) presents an example of how you might use this film clip in an activity.

Intercultural Conflict Styles: Activity + Role Play

This activity introduces participants to the Intercultural Conflict Styles and gives them an opportunity to explore their own conflict style and learn about others’ styles. To enrich the activity, participants can take the fee-based inventory if time and funding allows, but the activity can still work without taking the inventory. The goal of this activity is to encourage participants to consider how their conflict style has formed over time and how their and others’ styles impact conflicts.

Re-imagining Rhetoric Activity

Foss and Griffin (1995) re-imagined traditional rhetoric by creating an alternative way of communicating across differences in opinion, namely through invitational rhetoric (IR). IR is a rhetorical practice that welcomes and honors all perspectives on a topic without the traditional rhetorical practices of persuasion and domination. This activity encourages participants to discover new ways of discussing and disagreeing across differing perspectives and provides real-world examples of IR practices.

Invitational Rhetoric Activity

Invitational rhetoric was created with the goal of understanding one another rather than persuading others to believe what the rhetor believes. As an alternative to contemporary communication theory (rhetoric as persuasion to change other people), invitational rhetoric fosters strong relationships. In this activity, participants will practice offering perspectives without the goal of persuasion, and practice listening to other’s perspectives without judgment.

Intercultural Learning Through a Japanese Cooking TV Show

This article and embedded YouTube clip shed light on a popular Japanese TV show in which two celebrity chefs enter a stranger's home to cook dinner in their kitchen with only the ingredients found in the home. What viewers should know, however, is that this is an extremely unlikely occurrence in Japan - strangers don't tend to invite themselves into someone's home, let alone cook in their kitchen!
