Migration: Intercultural Communication Challenge

(Chen & Starosta, 1998:28)

"Intercultural communication is a symbolic, interpretive, transactional, contextual process, in which people from different cultures create shared meanings" 
(Lustig & Koester, 2007:46)
﻿
"Intercultural communication refers to the effects on communication behavior, when different cultures interact together. Hence, one way of viewing intercultural communication is as communication that unfolds in symbolic intercultural spaces" 
(Arasaratnam, 2013:48)

These three quotes describe the meaning of intercultural communication. Which of these quotes describes the idea of intercultural communication best for you? Why?
