The sensory dimension of mixed reality's reality"

"Beyond the issue of the scope of mixed reality's materiality is the question of the kinds of sense-experience that it draws upon, over and above the visual as an aspect of the sense-experience that it draw upon, over and above the visual as an aspect of the screen as interface...mixed form visual, digital, culture is augmented by other sense-based media just as much as it potentially consists of different visualities(177)."

"Those in position of privilege live this condition by choice, conducting international business, using advanced technology, or playing virtual reality games, others who are less privileged are compelled to live this sense of dislocation without respite as migrate workers, immigrants, exiles, refugees and homeless people.

Ethnographies of Home and Mobility

This book lays out a framework for understanding connections between home and mobility, and situates this within a multidisciplinary field of social research.

"We have come to recognize that diversities crosscut culture, race, ethnicity, nationality, class, gender, sexuality, religion, language, age and ability. These multiple identities do not simply coexist in individuals and express across groups; they intersect, engendering multiple modes of being in the world (115). "

"Migration studies have acknowledge that diversity cannot be sieved from difference; contemporary mobilities have enhanced the entanglements of diversities and their swelling interpretation(116). "

Cultural Intelligence a Guide to Working with People from Other Cultures

Even when English is the first language of everyone in an internationally mixed organization, deeper differences can create invisible and very real challenges. For example, cultural and historical differences can result in different views on risk taking, planning preferences, styles of communication, levels of comfort with change, ways of dealing with conflict, degrees of formality, and other factors (64).

Among Cultures: The Challenge of Communication 3rd Edition

"Among Cultures: The Challenge of Communication, Third Edition explores intercultural communication and the relationship between communication and culture, using narrative as a common and compelling thread for studying intercultural interactions.

As we come to know that there are other ways to look at what we thought was obvious, we can learn new ways to deal with old problems. Knowledge of these different perspectives gives us a broader view on our own lives and the problems we face. On the other hand, ignoring or hiding from our differences and avoiding interactions with those different from ourselves creates a comfortable, but confining, cage that limits our own growth and forewarns of further problems in the future (22).
