What is ethnocentrism? (brief explanation would be fine)Define ethnophilia and ethnophobia. (brief explanation would be fine)What impact do these concepts have on intercultural communication? Can they have positive influences as well?Things to ponder…Immersing oneself in a new culture can lead to apprehension and emotional distress, resulting in mental and physical fatigue. Culture shock is a mental state that can occur in such situations—especially when one finds that one’s established patterns of conduct are ineffective. Such disorientation can have profound impact upon one’s health, learning, and adaptation. According to the U-curve model, cultural adaptation progresses through four phases: honeymoon, disillusionment, recovery, and adjustment (Interestingly, students go through this same process when they enter college from high school). Many people experience a similar experience upon returning to their own culture after being immersed in the other culture for lengthy periods of time, struggling as they try to assimilate new values, perspectives, and attitudes into their original setting—especially if they find that family, friends, and others around them are not accepting of the changes. Cultural adaptation strategies include learning the host culture and language, eschewing ethnocentrism, and sustaining contact with your own culture.Obstacles to effective intercultural communication include a predilection for similarities, dealing with uncertainty, the risk of withdrawal, stereotyping tendencies, problems of prejudice and racism, and matters of power. Prejudice is a strong feeling or attitude toward a particular social group: ethnic, racial, religious, or so forth. Racism is the belief that one’s race is superior to another race. Because communication is an activity that has a consequence, we must develop a communication ethic. The two major perspectives on ethics are relativism and universalism. An intercultural ethic leads one to be heedful of the power of communication, respect the worth of all individuals, seek commonalities among peoples and cultures, recognize the validity of differences, and take individual responsibility for your own actions.What is ethnocentrism?
