GIS – Intercultural Development Profiles

Hi Class, 

Reminder about your quiz:

QUIZ – Next Week! Tuesday November 13

Cultural Orientations – Be able to define these orientations:

  • Individualism/Collectivism
  • Orientation to Time: Monochronic/Polychronic
  • Orientation to Power: High power and low power distance (hierarchy)
  • Communication (Direct/Indirect)

Bennett Scale – Be able to define these stages:

Denial, Polarization, Minimization, Acceptance, Adaptation

I will give you SCENARIOS and you will explain them using the culture orientations.

I will give you examples of PEOPLE and you will explain where they are on the Bennett scale. You could suggest things they could do to improve their cultural competency.

Here is a copy of our class powerpoint: The Bennett Scale of Intercultural Development
