Pre-Departure Journal Assignment

a) Write about your own “culture”. This can take any direction you want, but it must be sincerely addressed.

b) Take one or more “American” value we discussed and give examples of how you’ve seen it demonstrated in American society. If you have them, give examples of how these values have compared/conflicted with values/traditions from other cultures.

If you were not in class, you may go to the following webpage for help: (http://www.peacecorps.gov/wws/educators/enrichment/culturematters/Ch2/thirteencategories.html ), however, you are not limited to this one resource. You may draw from any resource, including personal experience. While there is no “right” or “wrong” answer, a well thought out, well articulated response should be submitted by all.

Journal Assignments should be 1-3 pages and are due by 5pm Friday, Nov. 16th.
