A-We often place the topic of History on a pedestal (hence why I capitalized it) in our culture. But as the reading discusses, history is a created, manipulated 'thing.' Which moment in history, before your birth, would you like to know more about? Which narratives are missing from that moment in history? Why might someone want to suppress those narratives?History is often placed on a pedestal front in cultural understanding. As per discussions inthe reading, history is considered to be created, manipulated to include several narratives.Various narratives are found to be missing that have occurred from moments in history.As for example, facts regarding Jerusalem where various narratives have been found tobe missing. Middle-East fights with story of Templar connections that brought treasuresto Rosslyn Chapel, Scotland are missing from history. It is suppressed because unearthing the same might lead to various treasures which mightbe taken away from the chapel by the government. Further disclosure of such wealthfrom Jerusalem might also lead to agitation amongst the Jews leading to rebellion. B-Why do you think that the term 'worldview' is important to our study of intercultural communication? Do we need this concept? Does it help advance or clarify our understanding of cultures? How does this concept affect the way we communicate with others? Is there another word/concept/idea that you think would be better than 'worldview'?Intercultural communication enables understanding of all aspects of the society with itsvarious positives and negatives. Worldview provides a more clear conception regardingunderstanding of cultures from their perspectives. It is related to fundamental cognitiveorientation of society or individual regarding a knowledge or a point of view. It is anatural philosophy, existential, fundamental including normative postulates that hasemotions, ethics, values and themes.
