Part One- Paper 100 Points Students will
complete a three page report explaining the cultural aspects of one nation or
cultural group in the world. What are
the interesting cultural parts of the society chosen? Discuss the language,
values, norms, folkways, mores, taboos, beliefs, material objects (material
culture), gestures, symbols, behaviors, superstitions, ideal verses real
culture, and technology of this society.
This paper is due: February 21, 2013
What does this society eat? How do they
treat marriage? Feel about dating? When does an individual become an
adult? What ceremonies are important?
Why? What negative pressures are there on society (racism?), and how are these
pressures resolved? You are to show some examples of the above questions, or
ones that show the unique flavor, taste or ongoing change that is going on in
your chosen society. Do not talk about
things such as the population, land formations, annual rainfall. These are not part of the culture. Please
Cite all your work. You must use
Cultural Grams as one of your sources
Partners will be allowed. The combined
paper total will then be four and a half pages. Both individuals will be
involved with part two of this project. There
are only 2 allowed to a group. No

Class Part 2- Presentation 100 points Create a visual to
help teach and/or share the experience of the culture you have researched. To
do this, use the most interesting/vital aspects of your paper and give us a
peek into the ways this society works. Your presentation should be rehearsed,
appropriate and brief. Be ready to
handle a quick question or two. You
should give a few points that give a general overview of your culture and then
pick one interesting aspect of the culture that you can elaborate upon. Maybe some specific holidays or a subculture
