302s07: A few links to get you started...

Here are a few online resources on intercultural communication that might help you as you work on your team assignment:

The Library of Congress's "Country Studies" site, with PDF summary sheets for almost every country in the world.
The CIA World Factbook, another government site with almost unlimited information about foreign countries.
The Journal of Intercultural Communication, an academic research journal with articles on numerous topics.
Wikipedia entry on Intercultural Communication Principles. If you choose to use Wikipedia as a source, you will need to find additional, credible sources to support the information you gather here. With that in mind, this page contains several helpful suggestions about what issues your team might want to address in your report.

I hope these sources are helpful. As you find others, add them by responding to this message. If you don't know how to create hyperlinks, that's fine—just copy and paste the URLs into your response.

I found this website when I was searching through google. It's really easy to navigate through and there is a lot of info similar to the CIA factbook on every country I clicked on. http://www.studentsoftheworld.info/menu_infopays.html
