Abstract

Problems in communication usually lead to problems and misunderstandings between groups.and individuals. This is an even greater problem when those involved in a communicative interaction possess different values, customs and ways of communicating.

The objective of this thesis is to determine whether students' perceptions and attitudes can be changed after being exposed to a unit on diversity. Following the diversity unit, it will be determined whether or not students' attitudes and perceptions were changed. This will be done by examining data collected before and after the diversity unit was delivered.
