Answer to Question 1

a. Intercultural communication takes place between people from different cultures when a message is created by someone from one culture to be understood by someone from another cultural. (Because there are cultural differences in any mix of people in a U.S. company, it could be argued that most workplace messages are intercultural in some sense. But most often the term refers to communication across national borders.)
b. Multiculturalism is a philosophy of appreciating diversity among people, typically beyond differences in countries of origin.
c. Inclusion is putting the idea of multiculturalism into practice: creating policies and actions that help all employees, whatever their backgrounds, feel included, able to contribute, and able to reach their full potential.
