Monday's class was interesting with our guest speaker, professor Koji Fuse. Although hard to understand with his thick japanesse accent, which he explain his accent very well to us, made the class very stimulating. He spoke a lot about Japan and US and our culture differences. Mr. Fuse said the most important resasons to study interpersonal communication is as following: 1.Economic 2.Globalization (30-40% out profit US) 3.Technology 4.Demographic and 5. Peace. His discussion was very educational and fill with good information. He tried his best relating it to situations for us. My favorite part of the discussion was his stories from when he worked in Japan.
He spoke a lot about Hofstede's model and related it in comparison to Japan and US. He also spoke a lot about non-linguistic stuff and how it relates to high and low context cultures. He brought up good points and I personally took a lot from the discussion.
