Write the given essay assignment.
Write in 2 pages.
Observation
Examples of observations would include visiting a science museum exhibition with a global theme (science/description), visiting a Buddhist temple and observing a chanted prayer service (value/meaning), or viewing a particular art museum exhibit that represents a culture different from your own (art/expression).
Another form of "observation" would be to attend a concert presented by global artists. This might be a choral, symphony, small group, or solo concert. It might also be a dance concert. Remember that the concert should be a new experience for you and not be one that you would ordinarily attend.
Include the following in APA format:
• Title page;
• Introduction (This section gets no heading. See APA style guidelines);
• Discussion of Experience (This is a main heading, centered on the page, and typed in boldface. This section, together with your conclusion must be 2-4 pages.);
• Conclusion (this is a main heading as well); and
• References
In order for each essay to be evaluated as having met the required criteria, be sure that you have clearly explained how your experience
• reflects the specific liberal arts breadth area
• relates to living in a global community
