Communication and Language

For this week, read Chapter 4 in your text -  Communication.
Also, read the following articles:
Shakespeare in the Bush
Conflict and Confluence in Advertising Meetings
To Give Up on Words:  Silence in Western Apache Culture (this is difficult to read because of the format of the website, but it is a very interesting article if you can get past the weird formatting)


Discussion Assignment:
Drawing on this week's readings, discuss the ways in which language shapes a people's concept of reality. Does the language that we use affect the way we see the world, or does the way we see the world affect the language that we use?

This assignment should be completed by midnight Saturday, September 10.
