“…According to Sadri and Flammia (2011), language usages reflect cultural values and beliefs. Thus, the cultural value and cultural schema of each culture plays a significant role in translating stories or documents from one language to another.…”

A narrative is a sequence of connected events arranged by a narrator. Folktales are a genre of narrative stories that every cultural community possesses. They have spread through verbal storytelling rather than written formal texts and reflect cultural beliefs, cultural identity, traditions and social customs. In this paper, I comparatively analyse the narrative structure of two versions of Korean folktale stories: the original Korean version and their English versions rewritten by American writers. The results of the analysis reveal that a modification in narrative structure occurs during the process of trans-creating folktales into a different language to appeal to a target audience that has a different cultural background. The results of my analysis show that the story schemata of folktale stories and story patterns vary between cultures, reflecting the different cultural orientation of each audience.

“…Both China and the America experienced the colonial and semi-colonial eras, after that, they regained national independence and cultural democracy and freedom by the national liberation movement. Similar historical courses have endowed the Chinese and Latin American cultures with similar resilience and core values (Sadri & Flammia, 2013, Lara, Nilsson, Liljelind et al, 2006.…”

This paper aims to disclose the relationship between cultural identity, subjective well-being and the intercultural communication between China and Latin America. First, the evolution and features of intercultural communication between China and Latin America were discussed in details, and the role of national identity in that process was reviewed. Then, the economic and trade exchanges between China and Brazil and the number of Confucius Institutes in Brazil were taken as the examples for data analysis on China-Latin America intercultural communication. Next, a questionnaire survey was carried out in Minzu University of China to obtain the views of Chinese and Latin American students on national identity and intercultural communication. Through analysis on the survey data, it is concluded that the cultural identity of Latin America is underlying the China-Latin America intercultural communication, and is increasingly understood by Chinese; the Chinese and Latin American have the subjective sense of happiness, following the accelerated economic and trade exchanges between the two parties. The research results help to promote intercultural communication between different cultures.

“…Characteristically, when communication is conducted with participants of different contents, it requires great attention to coordinate the incoming information, by the social worker; people from high-content cultures may not receive in a positive way, a detailed apposition of information, while on the other hand, a nonexplanatory practice may work for them, up to chaotic (Samovar et al, 2010). It is equally necessary, to define non-verbal communication, and focus on the texture messages, emitted from the interviewee, as it is an entire system that reflects thoughts, beliefs, moral and cultural commitments, or codes of behavior (Sadri & Flammia, 2011). These are mainly unconscious, spontaneous expressions, that reaches a wide range of elements, such as body language (gestures, body posture, eye contact), physical distance and (contact) between the two sides, the perception of time, the rhythm and intensity/ tone of speech (Kottler & Montgomery, 2011).…”

In cross-cultural interview, difficulties often arise, and derive from the fact that, social workers and interviewees come from much different worlds, and some major sub-cultural differences-such as socioeconomic group, race or ethnicity, gender, age and sexual orientation-may differentiate the interviewer from the interviewee, and consequently, increase social distance and limit understanding, between them. The purpose of this article is to point out the meaning of counseling, in social work practice, and in addition to isolate and clarify these differences that may be of crucial importance, on how the interview will be conducted between a social worker and an individual from a different race. During the interview, there is, however, a need for balance, in assessing the importance of these key-identifying characteristics. Despite the great number of books and articles referring to racial and ethnic data collection, social workers, rarely, discuss the explicit relevance of these information, in order to conduct an interview.
