Introducing Christianity
If you're thinking about going overseas or into a community that has a different culture than you, I would highly recommend this book. It is important to know how to communicate with cultures that are unlike your own and to understand the inner workings of those cultures. I am reading this book for my Cultural Anthropology course and I find it fascinating how different cultures have different ways of communicating, namely direct (Western world) and indirect (two-thirds world i.e. most of the rest of the world). I needed to read this book. It has opened my eyes into understanding how cultures communicate and how I should respond to conflict in those cultures. I am heading to Japan this summer and I feel way more prepared than I was before. Being from an individualistic society, I am excited to see a collectivist society with new and eager eyes that are ready to learn and to be a part of that culture.
