Question: You will be conducting an interview of someone from another culture in a few weeks. The reading this week should help you prepare for this up-coming project as you consider elements within intercultural rhetoric.
First, find a conversation you are going to analyze. It needs to be a conversation between two people from different cultures. You can go onto YouTube, you can choose two classmates, or you can select two people from the grocery store. I don't care who you choose, but they have to clearly be from two different cultures and there needs to be a rhetorical element to it. In other words, they can't be saying hi and that is it. Maybe the rhetorical element is to buy something, to sit somewhere, to explain something, etc. You are going to listen to their conversation, then make an analysis.

My hope is that you will learn from this exercise that culture can potentially have an impact on the way people will communicate rhetorically (persuasively).
Second, as they are talking, take down notes that you can later apply to the seven "useful guides" You will want to consider the following:
What is their history - how well do they appear to know each other?
Can you see any cultural style in the way they communicate?
Any obvious preconceptions towards the other's culture?
Can you see any evident expectations in their conversation?
Does their culture have an impact on the way they try to convince?
Can you see any cultural aspects in the way they communicate?
Is anything besides words being used to persuade?
Third, write up your findings in your analysis while incorporating the following terms:
Hegemony, epistemology, efficacy, paradigm, skewed, and rhetoric. These six words need to be used correctly and made bold in your analysis to earn full points in this section.
