INTRODUCTION

This assignment explores key aspects of communication across three important areas:
intercultural, development, and health communication. In the first section, we delve into
the concept of a "global village," the symbolic nature of communication, and cultural
dynamics like individualism and collectivism. The second section shifts focus to
development communication, discussing critical theories like the New World Information

comprehensive overview of how communication shapes and is shaped by cultural,
developmental, and health-related contexts.
