Define intercultural communication, and what does it mean when we say that culture is dynamic and heterogeneous

What will be an ideal response?


Students should define three things: define culture, define dynamic, and define heterogeneous.

Intercultural communication refers to communication that occurs in interactions between people who are culturally different.

When we say culture is dynamic, we mean it changes over time.

When we say culture is heterogeneous, we mean it is diverse, or that there are more differences between people within a culture than between people across cultural groups.
