Hall Unum and Pluribus: Ideological underpinnings of interethnic communication in the United States by Young-Yun Kim SAMPLE QUESTIONS: Question No. 1 (40%) After reading the passage below, define the concept of a "Renaissance man" and discuss why there are arguably no more true Renaissance men in the world. Be sure to support your argument with specific example(s). Herbert Simon, the winner of the 1978 Nobel Prize in economics, was arguably the last "Renaissance man" on earth. He started out as a political scientist and moved on to the study of public administration, writing the classic book in the field, Administrative Behavior. Throwing in a couple of papers in physics along the way, he moved into the study of organizational behavior, business administration, economics, cognitive psychology and artificial intelligence. 23 Things They Don't Tell You about Capitalism by Ha-Joon Chan Question No. 2 (60%) Read the following passages, and discuss the potential problems that might occur between people who communicate through high-context messages and those who communicate through low-context messages. (Only passage 1 of 3 presented here for brevity) A high-context (HC) communication is one in which most of the information is either in the physical or in the situational context, while very little is in the coded, explicit, transmitted part of the language.
