Week of June 27 - July 3

Listed below is a summary of what's listed on the Participation and Schedule Pages on D2L for this week:

***Read Chapter 12 - Intercultural Communication

***Complete Journal #2. As a reminder, all journal entries will be turned in at the end of the semester.

***Continue to work on Paper #1 - Cultural Event Paper.

Discussion: Answer one in each of your three posts, at least 12 hours apart:

1). Do you agree with anthropologist Ruth Benedict that we are "creatures of our culture" and that our habits, beliefs, and impossibilities are shaped by our culture? If so, how can we break through the limits of our cultures?

2). Do you believe in the rationality, perfectability, and mutability premises? What social institutions and practices are based on these beliefs?

3). Pick one concept from the assigned reading, not already discussed, that you found useful or interesting and discuss it.

***Remember to post 3 comments to your colleagues blogs this week. As a reminder, the comments must be about the discussion this week. Posting on a past discussion will NOT count for credit.
