Pretty Woman

You will write a reflection paper on Pretty Woman and you must include the following background and synopsis:

• Give an introductory synopsis, genre and the underlying theme of the film.
• Evaluate the strengths and limitations of the communicative choices made by at least three characters based on their culture. Use Hofstedes scale from chapter 2 in your analysis.
• For example, in some cultures it is not appropriate to question authority (high power distant), so how would this influence the way a child may speak to a parent or student may speak to an instructor? Explain with examples.
• Do you see signs of ethnocentrism?
• Is there a character who experiences culture shock or has a difficult time becoming acculturated to a new culture?
• Do we see examples of collectivism versus individualism, high context versus low context, or masculine versus feminine?
• Be sure to include specific examples from the film to support your observations. Apply what you have learned in class and in the text on culture in your analysis.
• What type of communication barriers existed between the characters in the movie due to cultural differences? List at least three examples. For example, what difficulties might arise when someone from an individualistic culture communicates with someone from a collectivist culture?
• What advice would you give these characters to improve their communication/interactions?
