Moreover, everybody – be it immigrants like Anika Rahman, expatriates or even people living in their country of birth – has to deal with different cultures everyday. We meet people from diverse cultural backgrounds at school, when we are shopping, at work, when we go out at night, and so forth. The study of intercultural communication gives us the tools to manage the cultural differences and to become more sensitive in intercultural encounters. %K Intercultural Communication, Identity Negotiation, Social Identity, Impact of Threats %G English
