黑龙江大学跨文化案例分析Cases

Case 2:White Dress Case analysis: The Indian women might think the wedding ceremony is a funeral if they see the western brid e in white gown. The case reflects the similes and metaphors in the text. Culture is like an iceberg: we can ide ntify the color of the dress worn by women in different cultures, but we do not know the values underneath. C ulture is like the water a fish swims in: people wear dress of different colors for different context but they usu ally take it for granted and never ask why. Case 4:Coconut-skating（用椰油保养地板的方法） The case reflects the characteristics of culture. We can tell from the case that culture is pervasive and it’s lear ned. People may invent different ways for things even as simple as the issue of floor moping. The Philippine w oman must have learned this way of mopping from her own culture. Case 12: Why Don’t You Eat the Pizza? This case can reflect the problems appearing during intercultural communication and how ignoring cultural diff erences can affect communication. In Malaysia, where most people are Muslims, people think the left hand i s used only for cleaning the body and thus it is dirty and can not be used to pass food. Knowing nothing abou t the cultural difference, the American student puts himself in an embarrassing situation. Chapter 3 Culture’s I nfluence on Perception Case 16: Different Responses to Noise This case can reflect different culture can give different influences on human sensation. No two of people ca n assume that their sensations are the same, especially when they come from different cultures. Different soci al reality and living conditions can equip them with different way to sense the world. So it is very common fo r them to have totally different sensations even towards the same condition. In this case, the German profess or and Japanese professor have very different response to the noise produced by the same motor for the heat ing system because of their cultures and living habits. Case 21: A Danish Woman in New York This case can reflect assuming similarity instead of difference. When communicating with people from anothe r culture, one is likely to regard and treat other people as “his people”and to assume there must be only on e way of doing things: that is “his way”. In this case, the Danish woman assumes that her behavior of leavin g the baby alone, which is common in Denmark, is also appropriate in New York. Here, she assumes what is s uitable in her own culture is also indisputable in another culture. That is why the small conflict happens. Case 23:Girl-ness This case can reflect one of the translation problems: the lack of conceptual equivalence, which refers to abstr act ideas that may not exist in the same fashion in different languages. Different cultures may attach differen t meanings to the same thing or person. Concerning this case, we should know what young females call them selves is very different in China from the States. In China, "girl" means someone who is young and single. I n a way, it makes a female sound more desirable to be called a girl rather than a woman. For most people, "w oman" means someone who is married and who probably is not young. In fact, most single Chinese female s, such as university students, would be insulted to be called "women". While in the West, in formal, public set

大学英语跨文化交际所有CASE答案

大学英语跨文化交际所有CASE答案！！！是WORD格式不是PDF格式的！！！ Case 1: An Interview in India Case analysis: The case is about an interview between an American program host and an Indian interviewee. They talk about some aspects of Indian culture and the changes occurred these years. The case reflects some basic cultural elements people may find in all cultures: language, family pattern, marriage, wedding ceremony, food and the way to eat food, etc. From this case, guide the students in culture study and culture comparison. The students should realize that there are both similarities and differences in culture. Culture is in fact very dynamic and pervasive. Case 2: White Dress Case analysis: The Indian women might think the wedding ceremony is a funeral if they see the western bride in white gown. The case reflects the similes and metaphors in the text. Culture is like an iceberg: we can identify the color of the dress worn by women in different cultures, but we do not know the values underneath. Culture is like the water a fish swims in: people wear dress of different colors for different context but they usually take it for granted and never ask why. Case 3: The French in North America Case analysis: The French were able to see Indian behavior only in the light of their own hierarchical social system, where it is natural for the few to command and the many to obey. Social systems that worked on other principles were literally unimaginable. Case 4: Coconut-skating Case analysis: The case reflects the characteristics of culture. We can tell from the case that culture is pervasive and it’s learned. People may invent different ways for things even as simple as the issue of floor moping. The Philippine woman must have learned this way of mopping from her own culture. Case 5: A Black Girl’s Identity Case analysis: Although we may say that identities are constituted by our communication, it is obvious from the case that we cannot simply choose at any moment what our identity will be regardless of the context. First, we often do not share the recipe for certain identities with others even if we belong to the same ethnicity, gender, or nationality. Understanding this can help us avoid some of the broad assumptions made about groups of people based on the reflective way of thinking. Second, as we learned in the very first chapter, all meaning in communication is to some extent situational. Thus, the context mediates what identities we can choose. Sometimes things one may have no control over, such as age or skin color, are seen as essential parts of how one communicates an identity. Case 6 Hippies Case analysis: Hippies could be defined as a subgroup, as the hippies culture tends to be temporary. In modern American society, hippies culture could also find traits, but it has wide spread influence on American value system. Case 7
