ACTIVITY 2

Directions: Explain in your own words the two dimensions of global communication
competence given below. Support your ideas with reasons, and situations that can justify your
answer.

1. Global Mindset

My answer:

A global mindset is the ability to recognize, read, and adapt to cultural signals, both overt and subtle, so
that your effectiveness isn’t compromised when you’re dealing with people from different backgrounds.
This requires you to know yourself, your work style, and your leadership style, and then learn to
recognize behaviors in others. Global mindset can be defined as the ability to perceive and decode
behaviors in multiple cultural contexts. It is an ability to connect with people from other cultures on an
intellectual as well as emotional level.

2. Unfolding the Self

My answer:

requires individuals to unfold and expand the personal characteristics, including flexibility, sensitivity,
open-mindedness, and mo tivation. As the centrality of the global society, the self must be mobilized to
visualize its identity for the establishment of its continuity.Through the extension of personal attributes
self-identity begins to build a bridge between the personal and social gap. A connection of I and thou
creates a web of meanings shared by the global community.
