The Problemt-

It Is essentlal that Americon penonnel engoged In communlcotion with Indivlduals or groups of a forelgn country have a cleor understondlng of tha "soclal charocter" of that ccuntry. In order to achlove such an undonstanding, the Americon, whether ho bo In business, In government or a tourlst, must understond hls own society and how It Influences his perceptions ond behavior. The task of developlng this undorstonding hes never beon fully appreclated In the Amerlcon culture, desplto the fact that the soclal sclances have cmphasized for mony years the nacessity for developing fromes of refercnce, training progrons, and specific guldance for behavior under glven sltuations. How con the knowledge the ond skills of/sociol scientist ba best opplled to thls criticol, national problem?

Discusion

It Is felt that the writings In the flelds of cultural anthropology, soclolegy, soclal prychology, politicol selence and econorlcs contain adequate Information st the present fime to crect a theoretical framework for commumicoting to tho neophyte In Intemational affaln:

a. on understanding of current ltsrature about hls own or any forelgn area

b. an understonding of the power and social structure of most areas of the world

c. a tystem for rapld assessment of the Interplay between the varlous social and cyltural forces In a glven orea

[PAGE 14]
d. an Improved appreclatlon of woys of explolting theso Indigenous forces for he dar

his own purposes.

Thare hove bean altempts by the and the to develop trolnlng programe In the past based upon the cbove assumptions. The resulh have not boen particulery noteworthy. Instructon working with the tralniag programs have usually concluded thot It was better to have no knowledgə than to have Incomplete knowledge. It was felt that short-tora tralning In such a complicated orea could at best produce only peeudo-sophlsticotlon which, In most cases, is more damaging than Ignorance, The tralnlrg efferts hove been relogated to ottempts to convay speciflc suiatance pertalning to events of a gtven orea gothor than ottompts to provide a brord understonding. Further, offlclals of thehavo surrendered thelr troining prograre to the theory that exports" could be selected and employed to fill the needs of any glven tme, Thls hos been true despite the fact thot seloctlon mothods have foaged forther bchind In scicntifto development than have culture appralsel methods or tralnlng methods.

Approdches to Solutlont-

It is felt that ths efficacy of short tenm trolning programs has never been fully tested, No concentrated attempt hos been swode to extract those portions of social science lore which con bo reodtly aslmlloted by tha neophyte ond applied for his owa uso "on the [ob.?" As an experlmont, It Is proposed thot the following be complled for use In teaching o coure In "culture asrossmont"t

a. on Integratod report coverfing the major literaturo on soclal choracter

b. an annotated bibllography appropriately categorizing major conslderatlons In culture assesment
