This paper describes an approach to teaching ethical
intercultural communication. This approach helps
students become aware of their own ethnocentric
attitudes and helps them move beyond those perspectives
to develop a mindful approach to intercultural
communication. The paper begins by introducing the
concept of mindful communication and the challenges of
developing of a code of ethical behavior for
communicating across cultures. Then, strategies for
reconciling cultural relativism and universalism are
offered. Finally, the paper provides a set of guidelines
for ethical behavior in intercultural encounters.
