For this particular assignment, your topic must be related to CULTURE. Your textbook defines culture in Chapter 5 as the “shared symbols, language, values, and norms that distinguish one group of people from another.” Do not confuse culture with ethnicity, which refers to ancestry or heritage.
Obviously, different countries have different cultures. However, culture may be local as well. For example, how do churches vary in their practices or culture? (Remember a church could have members of different ethnicities who share a common religious culture.) Does NSU have a different culture than LSU? Does the military or particular military units have distinct cultures? Do gamers have a distinct culture? Think of any organization or group and start asking yourself what makes this group unique and what are their shared values, norms, “lingo” or jargon, and so on.
Your topic could be related to an aspect of culture personal to you or your family, or you can research a culture that interests you and will interest your classmates. Regardless, your topic may NOT rely solely on personal experience. Research is required. Please include 3 citations
