Question 3

5 / 5 pts

In 50-75 words, explain how structural oppression might hinder our ability to engage in intercultural praxis.

Your Answer:

For me, I think structural oppression could be a barrier that might hinder our ability to engage in intercultural praxis. The standpoint and hierarchy of people from structural oppression might affect the way we think and our willingness to change our view to adopt new things from people of different cultures. It also hinders our flexibility to consciously shift perspectives in the process of intercultural communication.
