The book explores various theoretical positions on global communication ethics and norms by providing an overview of the contemporary socio-cultural situation and seeking ways in which common ground may be found between these different positions.
The authors raise points of critical reflection on intercultural events and issues in various areas of communication including health, work, environment and education. The book also covers a range of issues, from the interactions of various cultures to the expansion of social organizations and the growing global infrastructure.
By integrating 'glocal' perspectives in intercultural communication, the book addresses the long-term strategy of developing a global community without sacrificing indigenous local values.
Good book and the chapter on Education for the Global citizen particularly useful for my module.

Wonderful book for upperdivision class with undergraduates, particularly with a small class. Challenging and useful for students interested and those who have less background information because it brings up issues not commonly discussed in international/intercultural classes among my students. This class started in January of 2012.
