What's the time?

Introduction

Society has been defined in many ways, all of these definitions are connected with people living together in a specific place or as the whole group of people that exists on the earth. This term has even been applied to groups of living beings that are not necessarily human. But what are the differences between those groups of living beings and humans? One of the many answers and one of the most important ones is that people all around the world have different cultures and that they must be connected among themselves in order to establish a good relationship and not to cause a worldwide chaos because of communication absence.

This Blog intends to serve as a tool for the course "Approaches to Intercultural Communication" - MLL 599 [TESL 552], which is given by the Teacher Tamara Warhol at the University of Mississippi, USA. Here I will be posting the tasks and homework that will be given to us during the Spring Term of the year 2010. Even though this Blog is meant to be active just for one semester, new entries may be included afterwards with the intention to contribute to this relevant field of study.

The main language used in this Blog will be English, but there will also be entries in Spanish; and who knows? Maybe some time into the future there will be some other languages going around this page, as well as different cultures, and so on, because this Blog has an Intercultural purpose and is pointed towards the use and interests of every human being able to get here.

You are now officially welcome to this Blog!
