Discussion Post: Culture
This discussion is focused on the process of acculturation and how you became a member of a specific culture of your choice. I want you to focus on acculturation and not enculturation because the process of enculturation can be difficult to remember if it's something that we have been a member of since birth.
You should pick one culture that you belong to and go through your process of becoming a member and the traits/characteristics/practices that you are now involved in within that culture.
Your paper should be at least 2 pages in length and follow the formatting guidelines on the syllabus. Unlike the first journal, this will be a traditional essay format with a brief intro, at least 2 paragraphs, and a brief conclusion.
Checklist
• Briefly discuss what the culture is and what traits/characteristics/commonalities exist within that culture. Write this as if we are completely unfamiliar with the culture; assume we know nothing about it.
• Showcase the beginning of your involvement. What got you interested? Who was the first person to show you? What was the defining moment that made you believe that you were a member?
The response must include a reference list. One-inch margins, double-space, Using Times New Roman 12 pnt font and APA style of writing and citations.
