Choose and analyze a cultural object or photograph, and why that object or picture - as a cultural artifact - represents an important aspect of your culture. Include in your analysis:
•Brief description of the culture(s) in which you were raised.
Include descriptions of your family culture, your ethnic and/or religious cultures, and any other cultural influences that have formed the unique individual you are.
•A brief description of the current culture(s) you belong to. How are these cultures different from those in which you were raised?
You should use the object/photograph you choose for this assignment to explore the forms and meanings of cultures in your own life; the cultural influences that have formed you; what you have learned about cultural diversity and the diverse cultural influences that have helped to shape who you are.
•Finally, use what you see in the photograph as a way to summarize the dominant values or beliefs that are a part of your personal world-view as a result of cultural influences that have formed you.
Your paper should be 2-3 pages in length.
Please also include in your paper an image(s) of your object photograph in your paper.
