Description
In Case Studies in Culture and Communication: A Group Perspective, James A. Schnell presents critical essays in the burgeoning field of communication studies. In the first section, Case Studies in American Culture, he examines such topics as decision-making at a co-op grocery store and prank-playing and conflict resolution in a college fraternity. In the next section, Case Studies in Cross-Cultural Contexts, he explores such issues as the impact of introducing an Afro-centric perspective into American children's education. In the final section, Case Studies in Applied Settings, subjects covered include the role of the hospital chaplain in facilitating communication between patients and their medical team. Focusing on group dynamics rather than one-on-one interactions, this book demonstrates the broad relevance and applicability of communication studies.
