Based on this weeks reading, video lecture, and group presentations, we would like to propose the discussion board question as following:

Thanks to the development of technology, globalization has become unavoidable. We have seen the developed countries dominated the worlds economy and culture. How are minority or less dominant cultures impacted in the globalization process, but still preserve their cultural identity? How might globalizing the local, also localize the global? Select one national culture that influences the world economy and compare that cultural impact to a less dominant country. This website might be helpful in selecting countries with high GNP, . Incorporate a cultural framework as Hall or Hofstede to support your point while including additional intercultural communication concepts found in course materials, lectures and outside articles. Follow APA format with in-text citations and references as appropriate.
