How does cultural diversity present a strategic challenge to speakers? How can speakers adapt to culturally diverse audiences? Which approaches do you believe are most likely to work for you?
What will be an ideal response?
- Speakers must address audiences with different beliefs and values, including different values for age versus tradition, the roles of women, and the proper use of language.
- A speaker should use examples from many cultures, refer to his or her own culture in such a way as to emphasize cultural differences as a positive value, or resist culture-specific references altogether.
- Answers about most effective approaches should be fully supported with reasons and examples.
