INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION IN THE AGE OF GLOBALIZATION OF MODERN SOCIETY

Abstract

The study is devoted to intercultural communication in the age of globalization of modern society. Culture and communication exist and function within the framework of a single sociocultural space called society. The development of intercultural communication capabilities, including the ability to understand someone else’s culture, a critical analysis of the foundations of one’s own behavior, as well as recognition of another’s cultural identity and mentality and the ability to build dialogical relationships and make a reasonable compromise, is becoming increasingly important. It is proved that these abilities can be manifested in the ability to initiate contacts, expand the circle of acquaintances, show initiative and leadership in communication, make choices and decisions, and be able to defend one’s opinion. It is determined that personal and behavioral competence includes the ability of personal self-expression in the form of a manifestation of sensitivity to changing experiences of the interlocutor and the ability to integrate into the system of someone else’s culture.
