PART 1
M
ORE THAN A HALF-CENTURY AGO, theorist Marshall McLuhan (1962) coined the
metaphor of the world as a “global village,” in which communication technology
connects members of every nation. McLuhan suggested that, just like in a traditional village, our affairs are intertwined-for better or worse. This analysis has
proven to be increasingly accurate.
Thanks to the growth in communication technology, commerce has changed
in ways that would have been unimaginable just a generation ago. International
telephone service is affordable and efficient. The internet allows users around the
world to share information with one another instantaneously, and members of
global organizations can meet in virtual teams.
Beyond technology, demographic changes are transforming our society.
Countries such as the United States are in some ways microcosms of the global
village, in that immigration has made society more multicultural and multiethnic
than ever before (see Figure 2.1). In this chapter, we explore how interpersonal
communication operates in a networked world where members of different cultures interact.
CULTURE AND COMM UIJICATION
Before going any further, we need t o clarify two important concepts: culture and intercultural communication. We also need t o explain h ow intercultural and interpersonal dimensions interact.
