Assignment

For this Assignment, you will examine the ways that cultural expressions influence your daily life. You are welcome to use images in this Assignment, however, the written content needs to be at least 750 words.

Share three items of cultural expression that influence your life. Consider the cases in the Reading for ideas. You may also include the item of cultural expression that you introduced in your Discussion for this unit. You may want to write about recipes, art, music, sports, films, photography, religious traditions, or narratives about your family history. You are welcome to go beyond this list. These three cultural expressions should communicate something about your beliefs, customs, and way of life.

I. Give an introduction to the paper. Include a preview of your main points and a thesis that establishes what you will demonstrate in the Assignment.

II. Introduce the expressions one at a time. Tell the reader about the item. You may want to explain the who, what, where, when and why about this item. For example, what is it? Where did it come from and when? Who has decided to keep it? Why is it worth keeping?

III. After you have introduced and explained all of the expressions, consider the three expressions as a group and answer these questions.

• How do these cultural expressions help define who you are, what you believe, or how you act?

• If someone saw only this list of cultural expressions, what might they conclude about you? What might be an incorrect assumption that someone could make? What do you think might be accurate?

IV. Conclude the paper with a substantive conclusion.
