Making Sense of Your Experiences Using a Theory
Making Sense of your Experiences using a Theory
For your second major assignment, you will write an essay in which you test the theory and generalization put forth by LaRay Barna in the article “Intercultural Communication Stumbling Blocks (ICSB)” against your own experience. It means that you are using Barna’s theory as a lens in making sense of your own experience.
As a college student as well as a professional, you will be exposed to a variety of claims which you should test its credibility before you decide whether you will accept as valid them or not. Among different ways of testing theory and generalizations, comparing it with your own experience is often a convenient way to do it.
Your audience for this assignment is college students and professors. You have to assume that your readers have not read the article. Therefore, because it is an important part of this assignment, it is important that you provide summary of ICSB at a location in your essay.
Be sure to understand each of five intercultural communication stumbling blocks and choose one or two of the stumbling blocks and discuss it against your own experience. To do it properly, you will have to read the ICSB text at least three times and acquire good understanding of Barna’s arguments. You may have different opinions from Barna’s explanation of ICSB and want to write about it, and it is fine. You may choose to write about how Barna’s explanations differ from your own experience.
Lastly, you will have to actively incorporate into your essay ideas from the ICSB text by paraphrasing and/or direct quoting the original author’s ideas. Follow APA style for formatting your paper and citing the sources.
It has to have at least 6 citations.
