Name four barriers to communication, culture, and diversity listed in the chapter. Provide an example of the way that communication can be or has been used to combat these barriers.

What will be an ideal response?


The four are prejudice, discrimination, ethnocentrism, and stereotypes. (They may also say hate speech or school bullying.)

These campaigns use social media, pledge collections, and raise awareness.
