Read a scenario and create a 1–2-page dialogue that shows the different perspectives between characters. Then, write 3–5 pages in which you analyze the dialogue and provide solutions for reducing misunderstandings.

Although the content aspect indicates the message itself, the relationship aspect is often reflected in the thoughts and feelings hiIDen in the message. You will be able to explain misunderstandings among people of different cultural backgrounds and how to reduce them.
