Cross Cultural Communication. The Lewis Model and the Differences between Cultures

The seminar paper delves into cross-cultural communication through the lens of the Richard D. Lewis model, highlighting its effectiveness in addressing misunderstandings and prejudices that often arise in intercultural interactions. It critiques various classification systems based on geography, religion, and race, ultimately emphasizing Lewis's triangular model, which categorizes cultures into three types while allowing for hybrid identities. The analysis aims to enhance understanding of diverse cultures and improve communication across different backgrounds.
