 When does Intercultural
Communication
happen?
Intercultural Communication happens
when individuals interact, negotiate, and
create meanings while bringing in their
cultural backgrounds. (Ting-Tooney, 1999).
Intercultural Sensitivity
implies that both groups understand and respect each other’s
characteristics.
 THE DEVELOPMENTAL MODEL OF
INTERCULTURAL SENSITIVITY
(Milton Bennet)
Stage 1: Denial
The individual does not recognize cultural
differences.

An individual in the denial stage might be heard

saying: “All cities are the same; they all have tall
buildings, fast food chains, and coffee shops.”

(What was your initial reaction upon knowing

that Jung Kook is already 23 years old?)
THE DEVELOPMENTAL MODEL OF INTERCULTURAL
SENSITIVITY
Stage 2: Defense
The individual starts to recognize cultural
differences and is intimidated by them, resulting
in either a superior view on own culture or an
unjustified high regard for the new one.
An individual in the defense stage might be heard
saying:
“This culture does not view life the way we
do; our culture is certainly better.”
“Their ways are better than my own; I wish I
were one of them.”

(2. Upon learning the formula for Calculating Korean age, what came to your mind?)
Example: “Karma” (Mohan Lal & Lachmi : He adheres to the British culture though he is
an Indian)
 THE DEVELOPMENTAL MODEL OF INTERCULTURAL
SENSITIVITY
Stage 3: Minimization
Although individuals see cultural differences,
they bank more on the universality of ideas
rather than on cultural differences.
An individual in the minimization stage
might be heard saying:
“Once we see through the cultural
differences, we really are just the same!”
(3. Was there a second that you told yourself “Kahit
saan yan ipinanganak na bansa, parehas lang ang
edad ng tao.”?)
 Stage 4: Acceptance

The individual begins to appreciate important cultural

differences in behaviors and eventually in values.
An individual in the acceptance stage might be
heard saying:
“These people and I have different values and
experiences, and I think we can learn from one
another.”
(4. At this very moment, what now is your perception of
Korean age? Have you accepted already that they have
their own calculation of age?)
Stage 5: Adaptation

The individual is very open to world views

when accepting new perspectives.

An individual in the adaptation stage might be

heard saying:
“To address our issue, I have to adjust
my approach to consider both my own and
my
counterpart’s background.”
Stage 6: Integration
Individuals start to go beyond their
own cultures and see themselves
and their actions based on
multifarious cultural viewpoints.
An individual in the integration
stage might be heard saying:
“I can look at things from the
perspective of various cultures.”
