【正文】 ferent in China from the States. InChina, girl means someone who is young and single. In a way, it makes a female sound moredesirable to be called a girl rather than a woman. For most people, woman means someone whois married and who probably is not young. In fact, most single Chinese females, such as universitystudents, would be insulted to be called women. While in the West, in formal, public settings, itis customary to call any woman who is past puberty a woman, even though she may not be legallyold enough to vote, marry, purchase alcoholic beverages, drive a car, or sign a contract. Thisterminology became widespread during the women39。 and develop social decentering, empathy, and otherorientation.Case 20:Chinese Hospitality — OverdoneThis case reflects that sometimes people unconsciously assume that people from anotherculture may behave in a way which is similar to theirs. The Chinese usually attach a lot ofimportance to taking care of their guests. When it es to a foreign visitor, Chinese hospitality isusually more than what can be understood by a Westerner, who is unfortable when he isalways surrounded by people attempting to be kind. Concerning this case, Hong tried to respecther traditions and her friend by doing more than she could really afford to do for Joe39。 increase your Awarenessof perceptual inaccuracies and pensate for them 。recognize the elements to which you attribute meaning。大學(xué)英語跨文化交際所有CASE答案！?。∈荳ORD格式不是PDF格式的?。。ase 1:An Interview in IndiaCase analysis: The case is about an interview between an American program host and anIndian interviewee. 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.
