Danish History by Jb Andersen & Intercultural competences

6-09-2010
Part 1: Today Mr Andersen was with us, to tell us the danish story.. Starting from the stoneage, he "reached" 2010, by dividing the danish history in periods..the iron age, the Vikings, the Golden age, the thirties, the Liberation, the ninties etc..Quite interesting "watching" what was happening in an other country, when something else was happening in your own country..


Part 2: Intercultural competences ~ the understanding of situantions, realizing that cultural differences are influencing the situation, to stand back and analyze how to react the situation
By Elsebeth Plum

2 kind of knowledges:
~general knowledge about cultural meetings and intercultural communication
~specific knowledge about present cultures


Etno-centric perspective ~ Judging other cultures by the standards of your own defining the others in how they do not look like you.

Cultural-relativist perspective ~ Recognizes all cultures as equally good
By Thomas Hylland Erikson
