“…The publication of Edward Said's (1978) Orientalism toward the end of the decade dealt another devastating blow to scientific universalism while further encouraging the search for non-Western models and paradigms.

What Wallerstein described as European universalism dominated media and communication theory until the end of the twentieth century. The three-tier divide of the global economic system (center, semi-periphery, and periphery) explicated in world-system analysis was equally applicable to the global academic/scholarship structure. The non-traditional fields of study, such as media and (mass) communication, inherited the full flavor of European universalism because they originated in the academic institutions of the center countries. The turn of the century saw a dramatic reaction to the Euro-American rhetoric of power. Organized groups of scholars have begun to question the presumption of European universalism in media and communication theory, encompassing its axiology, epistemology/methodology, and ontology. Global divides in media and communication studies have emerged with some Asian scholars going back to the philosophical genius of Buddha, Laozi, Confucius, Nagarjuna, and others to derive relevant theoretical frameworks. This article explicates this momentous phenomenon.

For example, individuals from collectivistic cultures may be more likely to avoid direct confrontation and prefer a more indirect approach to conflict resolution, while individuals from individualistic cultures may be more likely to engage in direct communication and assertiveness during mediation (Nishiyama, 1971; Ting‐Toomey, 1997). In addition, cultural differences in emotional expression can affect how individuals perceive the emotions of others in mediation, which can lead to miscommunication and misunderstanding.…”
