In “Cross-Cultural Business Negotiations,” Hendon et al writes: The way onesucceeds in cross-cultural negotiations is by fully understanding others, using that understandingto one’s own advantages to realize what each party wants from the negotiations, and to turn thenegotiations into a win-win situation from both sides.” Kale in “Universal Code of Ethics inIntercultural Communication” describes the ethical communicator as one “who address people ofother cultures with the same respect that they would like to receive” and as one “who encouragespeople of other cultures to express themselves in their uniqueness.” The ideal communicator is inessence one who

[7]There are multiple and varying definitions of social justice; for our purposes, we chose tounderstand social justice as something that stresses the importance of equity and accessibility inresources, and the protection of human rights. This description of social justice carries a mandateto analyze and acknowledge the structural and social inequalities present in society, and work toempower those most marginalized by these systems of inequality. The work to fulfill the mandatemay come in many forms, from actively changing institutions–whether that be government,academic, or economic–policies, and systems that actively cause violence for marginalized
