Intercultural Communication: Barriers

Reflection

Listen to several local jokes. Determine if they would be suitable (understandable and appropriate) to share with an international team member on your team. Are you able to adapt the joke to make it understandable and appropriate? How many of jokes do you tell or listen to are not suitable for another culture?
