U9 Assign Communications

For this assignment, you will create a television or film script (words only) that incorporates four characters from diverse cultures. You can incorporate any characters you wish following the guidelines listed in the rest of the assignment directions. Some examples could include: a highly educated African American woman, a gay Mexican teenage boy living in Los Angeles, a male Muslim immigrant from Syria, and an elderly Caucasian female employee.

Your characters are working as a team to organize the annual company picnic and are determined to use ethical decision making when working together.

Two of your characters are effective intercultural communicators, and two are ineffective intercultural communicators. Before writing your script, provide a brief description of each character that includes their name, age, and cultural background.

Once the script is written, write a 300-word explanation for each character that demonstrates why they behave the way they do. In your analysis, include how ethical decision making influenced each character’s actions and decisions. Research each culture and provide at least two separate in-text, college-level citations for each character. Consider only legitimate behaviors within cultures. Do not rely on stereotypes.

This writing assignment should be 1,600–2,000 words and double-spaced. Use Times New Roman 12-point font and follow APA requirements. Provide at least five appropriate sources, along with a reference page.
