Download or read book Understanding Global Cultures written by Martin J. Gannon and published by SAGE Publications, Incorporated. This book was released on 1994-01-11 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a unique perspective on global multiculturalism and diversity, this book introduces a new method, the cultural metaphor, for understanding easily and quickly the cultural mindset of a nation and comparing it to other nations. Martin J Gannon identifies a key aspect of a nation′s culture that most exemplifies the essence of that country. The characteristics of that metaphor become the basis for describing and understanding the cultural mindset of a society, the manner in which its members think, feel and behave, simply because they are members of that culture. 17 nations are examined in this manner. Understanding Global Cultures is challenging, provocative, and essential reading for scholars, students and international business and policy professionals who must come to grips with today′s global environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Built on the hands-on reporting style and curriculum pioneered by the University of Missouri, this introductory textbook teaches students how to write about and communicate with people of backgrounds that may be different from their own, offering real-world examples of how to practice excellent journalism and strategic communication that take culture into account. Specifically, the book addresses how to: engage with and talk across difference; identify the ways bias can creep into our communications, and how to mitigate our tendencies toward bias; use the concept of fault lines and approach sources and audiences with humility and respect; communicate with audiences about the complexity inherent in issues of crime, immigration, sports, health inequalities, among other topics; interpret census data categories and work with census data to craft stories or create strategic campaign strategies; reconsider common cultural assumptions about race, class, gender, identity, sexual orientation, immigration status, religion, disability, and age, and recognize their evolving and constructed meaning and our role as professional communicators in shaping national discussions of these issues. In addition to its common sense, practical approach, the book’s chapters are written by national experts and leading scholars on the subject. Interviews with award-winning journalists, discussion questions, suggested activities, and additional readings round out this timely and important new textbook. Supplemented by additional case studies and examples of best practice, Cross-Cultural Journalism offers journalists and other communication professionals the conceptual framework and practical know-how they need to report and communicate effectively about difference.

Book excerpt: Iconic urbanist Lewis Mumford stressed the role of a well-constructed city in the development of the good life, championing pedestrian-scaled, sustainable cities.
