CULTURE 21.0. Introduction1.1.Background of the studyCulture entails beliefs, behaviours, values and norms practiced by an individual, group, organization or community. Knowing our culture is key in shaping type and manner of communication. However, knowing other cultures is key in bringing understanding, harmony and peace during intercultural communication set up. In studying culture, one comes across particular concepts that will enable a deeper understanding of approaches to intercultural communication. For example, cultural self-awareness involves knowing own culture and using it during interactions. Similarly, cultural intelligence is a measure of an individual’s capability to effectively perform tasks in multicultural contexts. 1.2. AimThe aim of this report is to show how lack of cultural self-awareness, intelligence and capability can create unsafe space. This will be achieved through an analysis of a video, Black white woman part 1. Safe spaces in multi-cultural set ups are created when everyone in the society is allowed to part of an activity or project. Unsafe spaces occur when people are unable to adapt to cultural diversities (Lierena-Quinn, 2013). Further, the report will recommend improvements to be made for sustaining safe work spaces.1.3. ScopeThis report will specifically focus on the hit series, black white woman part1, episode 1, scene 1 and 2.. The story revolves around John and Tiffany. During the initial stages of their
CULTURE 3relationship, John is excited about how Tiffany is keen on learning his indigenous culture. However, he later realizes that she has taken this ambition too far. This clip has been used in this analysis because it depicts cultural self-awareness, intelligence and capability. Therefore, this report provides an analysis of black white woman and how it depicts unsafe space.2.0. Summary and Observations2.1.Summary of the Video clipThe television show I have watched: Black White Woman [Motion Picture] directed by Riley, S. Cultural awareness and intelligence entails knowing critical aspects of a particular cultureand using them to maintain a healthy work space. In a work set up, people have responsibilities and roles that make us engage with people from other cultures. The following is a description of a show I watched and my assessment based on cultural awareness, capability and intelligence.I watched part 1 of the video. It starts with John telling his friend about his new woman, Tiffany. He tells him the way she is a keeper and loves his culture. Then, John calls Tiffany to come meet his friend. Tiffany comes in a jovial mood. John introduces her to Charlie. However, she does not greet Charlie to acknowledge the introduction made by her boyfriend (Riley, 2014). Instead she asks John why he has been calling her for long yet he knows that she is cooking. From Charlie’s facial expression, one can see that he is surprised by how Tiffany is acting.It gets more surprising to Charlie when Tiffany tells John that the food is not going to cook itself. Then John tells her to go back and continue cooking (Riley, 2014). She holds his cheeks and shakes them while laughing then she goes back to the kitchen.
