Class #2 What is Culture? What is CCC?

Today we will NOT have a guest speaker! Sorry, he will come next week instead. Today we will discuss what is culture, communication and cross culture communication? For homework, read the newspaper for the next week and find an article that has to do with cross culture communication problems. Post the link to this article, summarize it in your blog in English. It can be an English newspaper (Japan Times, New York Times, Washington Post, Yomiuri, Asahi) or a Japanese newspaper. Just remember to summarize it in English in your blog!
