USGG 4012 - Interpersonal Relationships across Cultures (0 Credit Hours)

Interpersonal relationships are strongly influenced by cultural contexts and ethnic heritages. Through readings and field trips, this upper level seminar course examines how individuals’ personalities, family interaction and larger economic and cultural contexts affect interpersonal behaviors from parent-child, family, friendship to romantic relationships. Students will be challenged to analyze individual relationships and learn to appreciate cultural construction of perceiving principles and norm behaviors. It will provide a valuable cross-cultural perspective in understanding how cultural contexts contribute to social interaction and relationship formation in the increasingly globally connected world.
