Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

This course addresses the impact of culture on communications and decision making in the national security arena. The class is designed to help students understand the challenges of communicating in an increasingly interconnected world between people and groups who may not hold the same core values or communications styles. It explores differing norms and national identities and their impact on the foreign policy of countries such as Japan, Germany, and the United States, as well as those in the Middle East region. The primary goals of this course are to 1) teach students to think critically and theoretically about these challenges, 2) increase their awareness of intercultural communication differences and values, and 3) gain a better understanding of the impact of national cultures on national defense, security analyses and decision-making. 1.00 units, Seminar
