Student Attitude to Intercultural Communication and Intercultural Interaction in Social Networks

Abstract

The relevance of this article is conditioned by the need to analyze and study the student views and positions on the issue of intercultural communication and intercultural interaction, as it is obvious that in the foreseeable future we will continue to live in a multiethnic, multicultural society and strive for the successful coexistence of many different cultures in social networks. The aim of the study is to identify the attitude of students communicating in social networks to ethnocentrism. The leading methods for the study of this problem are the methods of questioning and testing, allowing making a qualitative analysis of the peculiarities of the attitude of students communicating in social networks, to ethnocentrism, and allowing identifying the position of students on the issue of intercultural communication and intercultural interaction. The article reveals the criteria peculiar to the representatives of different ethnic groups with a high level of ethnocentrism. These students consider everything that happens in their culture to be natural and correct, and in others to be wrong; consider the customs of their group as universal: "what is good for us is good for others"; consider the norms, roles and values of their group to be absolutely correct; act so that the representatives of their group feel like winners; feel hostility towards external groups. It is determined that the presence of a set of these criteria and properties (or most of them) in the ethnic consciousness of the individual, allows us to talk about a high level of ethnocentrism. The novelty and originality of the study lies in the fact that a set of criteria characterizing the opinion of students, supporters of cultural relativism is revealed: they are often in contact with representatives of other ethnic groups

This social network has been shown to increase the satisfaction of the students during educational activities (Akcaoglu & Lee, 2018;Akhmadieva et al, 2020;Sarapin & Morris, 2015). Therefore, this quantitative study aims to analyze the impact of Facebook in the teaching-learning process in financial mathematics education, using data science (decision tree technique), machine learning (linear regression), and neural networks.…”

Intercultural Communication in the Grip: Implications of the Literature Review “Social Media and Intercultural Education”

“…Extreme forms of ethnocentrism and xenophobia assume that everything from the culture is true.
