communication across borders

 Intercultural communications is the transfer of information between different cultures and different people. It is used to describe the wide range of communication processes and problems that naturally appear within an organization made up of individuals from different religious, social, ethnic, and educational backgrounds.

 It is a very important part of how our world works, it is great that we are able to spread information around so quickly and keep people informed about what is happening with the many different cultures in the world. It allows us to know other kinds of people even though we might not have met them we are able to understand there ways and there culture.

Intercultural communications has helped me prepare for our trip to Ireland and Scottland. I have done a lot of research on the culture and i feel that i am prepared to enter these great countries culturally aware and sensitive. I will be able to understand and hopefully be involved in the many traditions these places hold. Also from all my reading about the people that live there and how different there traditons are than my own i am so excited to meet many new people and hopefully leave knowing much more than i do now.
