John won a scholarship to go on asu’s study abroad to china this summer. his friends think that being able to experience a new culture is a privileged experience and position. yet, john thinks that experiencing a new culture is a challenging experience that will put him in a disadvantaged position. having taken com263, you know of a way to resolve these seemingly contradictory positions towards intercultural experience. based on your learning, you would use the dialectic to explain how both john and his friends are correct in their expectations of intercultural interaction

I would say that the best answer to the question: Based on your learning, you would use the dialectic approach to explain how both John and his friends are correct in their expectations of intercultural interaction, would be: the cultural-individual dialectic.

Explanation:

The dialectic approach is a means by which differences in intercultural communication can be overcome by understanding that there is much more to intercultural exchanges than those things that set us apart, or make us different from others. The cultural-individual dialectic, as one of the many types that exist, allow us to bridge the gap that exists between what a culture´s norms places as expectations on us, and the reality that we are as people, as individuals, especially when we interrelate with others. In the case of John and his friends, both come from a culture that praises intercultural exchange, and thus the friends are joyous about John having gotten that exchange to China. John, as part of the same culture, adopts the view of his society, as he applied to the program and won the scholarship, but his view on the matter as an individual clashes with that of the bigger group because he thinks differently and interprets the opportunity differently. The cultural-individual dialectic would allow us to settle the difference and show them that both sides have a point that needs to be taken into accout.
