II. Teaching Objectives1.to identify the definitions of globalization, culture merge and intercultural communication2.to identify some relevant concepts about these three main themes3.to cultivate students to be able to recognize and analyze cultural factorsIII. Teaching Course1. Present the Cultural Phenomena to Students(1) Present some cases involving different cultural contacts between persons from different countries or different parts of the same country(2) Then lead to the concept of globalization2. Warm-up Questions1) Do you want to go abroad? What’s your aim?2) Do you find whether it’s easy or not to get along with f oreign friends?3. Key terms0.1.1.a. Globalization (from economic standpoint) (从经济学角度定义全球化): It is conceived as a process of increasing involvement in international business operations. (经济学视角中的全球化表现为不断增加的国际商务往来过程)。

0.1.1.b. Globalization (from sociological standpoint) (从社会学角度定义全球化): It occurswhen the constraints of geography on social and cultural arrangement recede as people around the world become increasingly aware that they are receding.0.1.1.c. Globalization (from Marxist standpoint) (从马克思主义角度定义全球化): It is what people in the third world have already experienced for several centuries. It is called colonization. (全球化是第三世界国家在这几个世纪所遭受的苦难,即殖民化。

)0.2 Caucasians(高加索人): 较新的人类学研究显示,現代人的历史先是从非洲与中东到了欧洲,然后再从欧洲到了东亚,所以高加索人(Caucasians)主要分为印欧雅利安人和闪族、含族等“挪亚的后裔”)在生命历史变动过程中,总是界与东方人和黑人之间。

如上所述,现代三大人种的形成,得力于两次分裂:第一次经历了“非洲人与异非洲人之间”(between Africans and non─Africans)的分裂,第二次经历了“东方人与高加索人之间”(between Orientals and Caucasians)的分裂.0.2 Hispanic:It came into common use as a result of the 1980 Census to identify various U.S Spanish-speakers’ shared roots to Spain. It refers to that population segment with the capability of speaking and comprehending the Spanish language, whose ancestry is based in aSpanish-speaking country, and who identify with Hispanic cultures. 1980年人口普查时开始通用的称呼。

主要指讲西班牙语、祖先来自讲西班牙语的国家并且认同西班牙文化的人。

0.2.1. a. World culture(世界文化):It is the idea that as traditional barriers among people of differing cultures break down, emphasizing the commonality of human needs, one culture will emerge, a new culture to which all people will adhere. 世界文化指的是一种的新文化。

不同文化背景所带来的传统隔阂消除后,就会产生强调人类需求共性的,受到全人类拥护的世界文化。

0.2.1. b. Macroculture(宏观文化): It implies losing ethnic difference and forming one large society. 宏观文化意味着种族差异的消失和更大的社会的形成0.2.1. b. Melting pot(大熔炉): It means a sociocultural assimilation of people of differing backgrounds and nationalities. 大熔炉指不同背景和国籍的人们之间的社会文化的同化.尽管大熔炉这一比喻所内涵的文化意义是动态的,但它从来都不能很精确的表达美国文化的意义。

确切地讲,美国社会的不同文化融为一体并变成一个独特的文化实体,在美国历史上从来都没有发生过。

实际上,美国国内的多种文化一直都相互适应,相互汲取经验,但他们从未丧失自我——各种文化一直保留着自己独特传统。

比较而言,在象征美国这一多元文化社会的比喻中,“色拉盘”是最好的形式。

就象色拉中的不同种类的成分一样,美国社会中的不同群体文化相互平等、独立,相互依存。

这是现代美国社会的现实,也是发展的必然趋势。

0.2.2. Diversity(多样性): It refers to the mix of people from various backgrounds in the labor force. 多样性是指在劳动力中,具有不同背景的人们的混合体。

0.2.3 b. Stereotype(文化定势): It is used to refer to negative or positive judgments made about individuals based on any observable or believed group membership.0.3.1 Intercultural communication(跨文化交际): It involves communication between people of different culture. 是指来自不同文化背景的人们之间的交际。

4. Supplementary Case and material.Supplementary English case:0.1.1.a. Global corporations such as AOL-Time Warner and McDonald’s are seen as undermining local culture. Because the United States has promoted both free markets and democracy throughout the world, global market are perceived as reinforcing U.S wealth and dominance.0.2.2 ⑴ Chinese business values also emphasize kinship, interpersonal connections, respect for elders, and hierarchy. These values are a result of three decades of Communism, which stresses a collectivistic society. Despite a recent move to a market economy, factories and larger businesses in China still reflect past collectivistic characteristic characteristics. For example, in the collectivistic society, the government provides jobs for all well as cradle-to-grave welfare for workers and their families. This system in China is known as “the Iron Rice Bowl”.⑵Dominant managerial values in the United States include “achievement and success, belief in hard work, pragmatism, Puritanism, rationality, impersonality in interpersonal work relationships, equality of opportunity, acceptance of competition, and individualism.”中文补充案例及材料:0.2.3.b. stereotype(文化定势):法国人浪漫,德国人严格,美国人随便,日本人敬业。
