Cultural Understanding Focus of New Oakton Course
Cultural sensitivity, ethical issues, and improved listening and critical thinking skills are among the topics covered in a new course being offered at Oakton Community College. "Interpersonal Communications Across Cultures" [SPE 115, Tues., Thurs., 11 a.m. - 12:15 p.m., Des Plaines campus], will focus on respect and understanding across cultures, and how to communicate that understanding, according to Prof. Toni Rowitz.Class participants will study communication as action, interaction, and transaction, as well as conflict resolution and power in relationships. Other activities will look at the cultural similarities and differences that exist across a wide spectrum of behavior, from control and the acquisition of knowledge or skills, to helping others and engaging in leisure activity.
