Culture in Film Questions- Week 8

Culture in Film Questions- Week 8

Q Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is to get you to think critically about the concepts we are learning that week through the use of film. Knowledge: The culture in film questions are designed for you to critically apply the terms/concepts/theories that we are learning this week. Each film has been chosen because it features/highlights some aspect of Intercultural Communication. After watching one of the films assigned for the week, you will be asked three questions that will ask you to engage your knowledge of the content from the week as well as your ability to "see" examples of those concepts occurring within the films. There will be three questions, and each answer is worth five points. Task: To successfully complete this assignment, you will: 1. Watch ONE of the films assigned for this week. 2. Review the major concepts from the week. 3. Give an in-depth answer utilizing terminology from this week's reading/lecture for each of the three questions. An ideal answer to the question will be at least 5-10 sentences long. 4. Complete steps 1-3 for the other two questions provided 5. Upload your submission to the appropriate Culture in Film Dropbox by Friday at Midnight. Criteria for Success: You will be graded using the following criteria: 1. Submission is on time. 2. Submission answers questions directly related one of the films assigned (not a film you chose on your own). 3. Each question is answered in-depth with examples used from that week's content. Questions 1. Even within one culture, subgroups may have diverse perceptions. Please give an example of an instance in the film where two (or more) characters have a misunderstanding because of having different perceptions on a situation. 2. Describe a scene in which one of the characters lost face. What happened? How did they lose face? How was the conflict resolved? 3. One aspect of Intercultural Communication is understanding the difference between high context and low context cultures. Give an example of a conflict, misunderstanding, or disagreement that occurred because of a different perspective of context between two (or more) characters.

This is because Tej had been a very rich individual and Ria had not been so rich as Tej. Moreover, Tej used to live in America as an American of Indian origin. However, Ria had been Indian and had lived in India. The problem had been that Ria had refused to take money from Tej for obtaining admission in an American university for studies.
