- Reflect on your own experiences that inform your ideas about culture. You may find that some of your experiences involve your own experiences of being a “cultural Other” when you travelled to a different country in the past. You may find that some of your experiences have to do with your hyphenated cultural identity (i.e. Japanese-American) in the United States or outside of the country.
- Describe those experiences and how they contribute to your thinking about culture.
- Explain to me how those experiences work together to shape your thinking about culture.
- Explain to me how you see the connections between the anthropological concepts of culture that you have read about in Perspectives and your own experiences and thinking.
