""Can intercultural communication ultimately bring peace and prosperity among different people…or are aggression and conflict inevitable?""
In Intercultural Communication: An Ecological Approach, the authors respond to these questions as well as concerns that changing population and religious trends threaten the stability and prosperity of the United States.
