Re-imaging Understanding of Intercultural Communication, Culture and Culturing
Abstract
The paper examines intercultural communication as the management of messages across cultures. Our understanding of culture, culturing, and intercultural communication enlarges our understanding of what being human means and, moreover, expands moral action by locating our humanity within a constantly changing world. This emergent quantum understanding brings a closer look on intercultural theory and the phenomenon of culturing, thus, broadening human understanding of intercultural communication.
