Read a scenario and create a 1-2-page dialogue that shows the different perspectives between characters. Then, write 3-5 pages in which you analyze the dialogue and provide solutions for reducing misunderstandings.
According to Wilmot (1987), human communication has two components, content and relationship. Although the content aspect indicates the message itself, the relationship aspect is often reflected in the thoughts and feelings hidden in the message. You will be able to explain misunderstandings among people of different cultural backgrounds and how to reduce them.
Misunderstandings Scenario linked in the Required Resources. (After reading this scenario, you will create your own dialogue.) Try to understand the "relationship" aspect of the two characters, Mariko and Mrs. Thompson.

Here, different cultures could be represented by either "counselor culture" or "patient culture."

Dialogue 2 includes Mariko's thoughts and the counselor's thoughts.
In each dialogue, "C" stands for the counselor, and "M" stands for Mariko.
