For this task you will analyze two different multicultural scenarios by defining and identifying key components of the worldviews and communication styles taking place in them. You can find Scenarios 1 and 2 in the Scenarios for Week 3 document available under your weekly resources.
Write an essay that addresses the following questions from each scenario:
Scenario 1:
Analyze the school testing scenario. In your analysis, be sure to address the following:
- Which of the four standards of equivalence in test materials may have been violated in this scenario? Do you think the results of this test would be valid and appropriate for use in school placement for this child?
- Both parties in this scenario were Americans. Tell how other issues such as race, gender, and status influenced their worldviews. How would you describe each person involved in terms of Kluckhohn's "Three dimensions of humanity"?
- Was this a high stakes test, and if so for whom?
- Analyze the typical hierarchical cultural relationships in the relationship between the tester and the student, initially, and how these changed during the course of the interview.
Scenario 2:
Analyze the social meeting scenario using these criteria:
- Analyze this scenario from an etic and emic point of view.
- Explain how the behaviors of the individuals involved (formal vs. informal) may have reflected deeper values and worldviews.
- Determine how the nonverbal aspects of language led to misunderstandings in this example.
- Analyze the communication that occurred during this scenario, both before and after the younger woman learned the foreign language, in terms of proxemics, kinesics, paralanguage, and high and low context communication factors.
Scenario 3:
Provide a third example, a scenario from your own experience, or from a television show, or a movie regarding an intercultural interaction. Your analysis should be based on the principles and concepts in the text and in the culture module. (Remember that you are neither expected nor encouraged to reveal personal information).

Running head: Analyze World View and Communication
Introduction
Worldview is a where diverse cultural groups share the same configuration on the
universe, but each and every individual act differently (Evanoff, 2016). For instance, if you are a
Christian, you will perform different things and make different choices than other Christians,
thus worldview is basically how you configure and explain the life and the world around you.
Other people may have similar views than yours but their views won’t be exactly the same as
individuals’ worldview is subject to different factors such as education, friends, media, religion,
and family (O'Sullivan, 2013). Everybody has a worldview with main features that are
continuously changing. The main components of worldviews are; time, values, society, beliefs,
economy, and geography.
Communication, on the other hand, refers to the action of relaying information from one
person to another or from one place to the other (Lü, 2018). This communication can occur in
different dimensions such a verbal, nonverbal, written communications and the visualizations.
Verbal communications mostly occur in face to face, radio, telephone, television and other
media. Nonverbal communications mostly occur through gestures, body language, dressing code.
The written communications occur mostly through the internet, books, journals, letters, emails
among other media. Various the communication styles taking place are passive, aggressive,
passive-aggressive and assertive (Lü, 2018). The purpose of this paper is to examine two distinct
multicultural context by identifying and defining key components of worldviews and
communication approaches transpiring in them. Finally, it will provide a third scenario regarding
intercultural interaction drawing points from my personal experiences
