I’m working on a research & summaries discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

In this discussion board post, I’d like you to reflect on your own experiences with intercultural communication using Peter Alfandary’s Ted Talk as a jumping off point. Here are some questions to guide you:
What did you make of Mr. Alfandary’s statement that “contact does not mean communication?” Can you think of an example from your own life when you engaged in intercultural communication that was particularly successful, unsuccessful, or enlightening? How did you approach the situation? What went right or wrong? If it didn’t go well, what would you do differently next time? Did you learn anything?
