Birth Of Communication

Outline
I.     It is important to reflect one’s own national and cultural identity to understand what is different among people of different nations.  History teaches us that culture always changes because of internal or external influences, even our own cultures and values change over time.  Our world today is a world in which people from different nations and cultures are getting closer and closer because of economical and political reasons.  Because cultures are becoming closer, communication is the most important quality for anyone to work on if they want to work in the international society.
