Global Communication Review Questions
Global Communication explores the exchange of information and meaning across international boundaries, examining how culture, technology, politics, and economics influence the way people communicate in a global context. The course covers key theories and concepts in intercultural and international communication, analyzes the role of global media and digital networks, and addresses challenges like language barriers, cultural differences, and ethical considerations. Through case studies and practical exercises, students gain a deeper understanding of how global communication shapes world events, international relations, business, and cultural exchange in an increasingly interconnected world.
