A Qualitative Research Study on International Migration from the Perspective of International Cultural Communication

Abstract

“Intercultural Communication” workspace is shaped by two main concepts: “Culture” and “Communication”. Culture is all kinds of material and symbolic productions of a society and the relationships, styles, patterns and practices within these production areas. Culture is above all a way of life and includes practices in everyday life and traditions and habits that make a group of people different from others. As mankind discovered the cultivation of the land, it began to move from nomadic order to settled life. However, throughout history, the movement of people between different districts, regions and countries has continued and continues with different factors. The phenomenon of migration plays an important role in the struggle to lead a better life for people. Migration events caused by economic, social or political reasons occur in a mandatory or voluntary manner, within the country's borders or between different countries. Today, the importance of migration has increased in the globalized world order. The development of transportation and communication technologies allows the circulation of people, institutions, goods, services and capital in a way that exceeds the borders of countries. This situation causes migration not only from underdeveloped countries to developed countries, but also from developed countries to other countries. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
