They talk about some aspects of Indian culture and the changes occurred theseyears. The case reflects some basic cultural elements people may find in all cultures: language,family pattern, marriage, wedding ceremony, food and the way to eat food, etc. From this case,guide the students in culture study and culture parison. The students should realize that thereare both similarities and differences in culture. Culture is in fact very dynamic and pervasive.Case 2:White DressCase analysis: The Indian women might think the wedding ceremony is a funeral if they seethe western bride in white gown. The case reflects the similes and metaphors in the text. Culture islike an iceberg: we can identify the color of the dress worn by women in different cultures, but wedo not know the values underneath. Culture is like the water a fish swims in: people wear dress ofdifferent colors for different context but they usually take it for granted and never ask why.Case 3:The French in North AmericaCase analysis: The French were able to see Indian behavior only in the light of their ownhierarchical social system, where it is natural for the few to mand and the many to obey.Social systems that worked on other principles were literally unimaginable.Case 4:CoconutskatingCase analysis: The case reflects the characteristics of culture. We can tell from the case thatculture is pervasive and it’s learned. People may invent different ways for things even as simple asthe issue of floor moping. The Philippine woman must have learned this way of mopping from herown culture.Case 5:A Black Girl’s IdentityCase analysis: Although we may say that identities are constituted by our munication, itis obvious from the case that we cannot simply choose at any moment what our identity will beregardless of the context. First, we often do not share the recipe for certain identities with otherseven if we belong to the same ethnicity, gender, or nationality. Understanding this can help usavoid some of the broad assumptions made about groups of people based on the reflective way ofthinking. Second, as we learned in the very first chapter, all meaning in munication is to someextent situational. Thus, the context mediates what identities we can choose. Sometimes thingsone may have no control over, such as age or skin color, are seen as essential parts of how onemunicates an identity.Case 6HippiesCase analysis: Hippies could be defined as a subgroup, as the hippies culture tends to betemporary. In modern American society, hippies culture could also find traits, but it has widespread influence on American value system.Case 7Clean up the Bathroom!Case analysis: Cultural differences decide the two students are going to municate indifferent ways. The Chinese student wants the American student to understand the underlyingmeans of his words, but the American student is used to the direct style of munication. This isdecided by culture. In Chinese culture, people want to save face of both themselves and others, sothey would not express their ideas directly. However, in the United States, unless you expressyourself clearly and directly, the others cannot understand you.Case 8:She Has Three HandsThis case can reflect the different munication styles between Chinese and Canadians. Inwestern cultures, munication is the means of transmitting ideas. Western people usuallymunicate directly with each other. That is why the Canadian in this case says what is in hismind directly in front of the Chinese woman without hiding anything. While Chinese culturestresses harmony and emphasizes the relationships between the municators. Chinese peopleview munication as a process where all parties are searching to develop and maintain a socialrelationship. So the Chinese woman in this case tries not to argue with the Canadian face to face tokeep the “harmonious relationship” between them.Case 9:A Piece of CakeThis case wants us to recognize some ponents of munication. Sender/source refers tothe person who transmits a message. Receiver is any person who notices and gives some meaningto a message. Context refers to a setting or situation within which munication takes place. Inthis case, Marilyn and Richard are simultaneously the senders and receivers. And their room,where the munication event happens and which makes the couple feel fortable andrelaxed, is just the context.Case 10:The Place to Have LunchThis case reflects that munication is contextual, which means that munication doesnot happen in isolation and it must happen within a setting or context. Whether this context isquiet or noisy is important to the smoothness of munication. When the munication eventis disturbed by noise, the munication can not go smoothly. In this case,Case 11:Making an AppointmentThis case can reflect how culture affects its munication style. Each culture encourages aparticular munication style expected within it. This implies not only using correct symbols,but also applying the appropriate munication style for the occasion. Communication stylesinclude mannerisms, phrases, rituals, and munication customs appropriate for varioussituations in a culture. In this case, knowing the munication style of the Americans which ischaracterized by direct, exacting and instrumental, the exporter manager fulfills his jobsuccessfully.Case 12:Why Don’t You Eat the Pizza?This case can reflect the problems appearing during intercultural munication and howignoring cultural differences can affect munication. In Malaysia, where most people areMuslims, people think the left hand is used only for cleaning the body and thus it is dirty and cannot be used to pass food. Knowing
