The purpose of this assignment is to seek new cultural experiences and reach outside of your comfort zone.
There are multiple ways to fulfill the requirements – visit an ethnic restaurant and chat with the staff/ owner, visit a lecture about a culture or a country, have dinner with a family outside of your culture, participate in an ethnic celebration, visit a church, visit an ethnic store or do something that is out of your comfort zone. It doesn’t have to be about international culture – there are many subculturres in US and it would be worth experiencing them.
You must complete and describe two cultural experiences. Write a half page description of each learning experience. Make sure to clarify what you learned and how it expands your way of thinking or breaks some preconceived notions. Share as many details as possible, including what you were feeling, what you liked, what you disliked, what was similar, what was strange. All cultural experiences must be NEW and outside of your own ethnic, religious, or others culture. You cannot use experiences that occurred prior to the class.
You are not limited to these ssuggestions. You have many choices but I strongly encourage to push your comfort zone.
