Topic 1 DQ 1 Jan 2-4, 2023 Why is intercultural literacy needed in today's world? How can the definitions of communication and culture be used to foster this literacy? How is the language used to describe a culture, such as the Nacirema culture from the course readings, shaped by this literacy? Evening Prof. and class Intercultural literacy is needed in today's world because our existence as human beings is built around learning, growing, and ordering our world. We learn the rules of the society in which we grow up, and those rules provide us with a map to understand how the world works.

In order to foster this literacy, definitions of communication and culture should be used to demonstrate why intercultural literacy is essential for being able to effectively communicate across cultures.
