How does PR and Cosmopolitianism relate?

Public relations and the book Cosmopolitianism are relevant to each other. The book points out different characteristics in people and how to communicate with people who have different views than you. This is a key element in PR. Public relations is all about communication, and if we can learn to communicate better it will make us better at our jobs. The book points out different ways to look at things, and how to communicate something different to someone who doesn't understand your ways. An example i liked in the book was when the children are getting diarreha from the water and the woman tells them to boil out the spirits. This was the only way the people understood this. I liked that she related to them and got down to there level of understandance. I feel that after reading this book and relating it to my own life, and job in PR I will be more well rounded. I will be more open to possibilities of understandance.
