COMMUNICATION AND
WORLDVIEW
 In the field of intercultural communication, the
Intercultural perspective traces its academic
journey from anthropology and linguistics to a
significant topic called perception. The expression
"world percepción" or "world view" derives from
the German word "weltanschauung" (Dodd, 2017).
 Intercultural world view is a fundamental
conceptual structure that forms how society
interprets events and affects cultural and
intercultural communication behavior.
 Collectively, assumptions as world-views are
associated with several factors, including laws of
nature, the concept of the cultural reality,
fatalism, faith in God and the supernatural.

 This can be understood through communication,
understanding another person’s perspective of life
through their eyes, and understanding how the goals
differ.
 These goals are categorized in categories called
individualism, context, gender, uncertainty, power and
time.
 the major reason why this is done is to avoid culture
shock. Different coding rules and cultural standards,
which play a major role in developing interaction
patterns, lead to misunderstandings and
miscommunication among people from different
cultures.
 One may experience a surprise or feel a sense of
uncertainty, anxiety, tension and loss when you come
across a culture that doesn't share your own. It may
take time for your confusion and pressure to diminish
when you learn the principles and codes that mark the
new culture, whether you visit or live in the new culture.
