Part One: "US " - Your Own Group Culture - Self Identity Exercise

Understanding foreign cultures requires first an awareness of one's own cultural roots and the role of culture in one's own life and then secondly an awareness of another's cultural backgrounds.

 

In order to find out more about yourselves and your backgrounds fill in your own personal data. Before filling out the form below with your personal data, review the examples below to help you define the categories.

 

For ease of presentation, list your attributes under the following headings taken from the circular chart below proceeding clockwise [See an Example Chart in this week's "Documents and Resources" section].

 

a. Your Religion / or Religious influences:

b. Your Cultural Heritages

c. Your Nationalities

d. Your Language Communities:

e. Your Era or Age of your Contemporaries: (i.e. "senior citizen" - 62 or over, "post-adolescent - 18-21, etc.

f. Your Family status and approximate income level: i.e. lower-middle class, single male living on his own, single mother of three dependent children, married with six adult children, etc., gay/lesbian female in a ten year long, committed relationship, etc.)

 

2. Part Two: "THEM" The Other's Group Culture - [Civic Engagement Signature Assignment - SA]a. Are there "other cultures" [simply defined as other-than-your own which you defined in Part One above] residing within a ten mile radius from where you live? [Or even more distant if you cannot locate any within this range.] [For example a Senior Citizens Apartment Complex or a cluster of Section Eight Housing or a Hmong Community might constitute a group of people that you would not normally "hang out with."] Can you list and map them arranged by relative proximity to where you live?

 

b. Create and recommend a real assignment for this course that would begin next term that would result in your having an authentic "civic engagement" with oneof these groups in your community. Specifically what would that assignment entail including its objectives and demonstrations of learning?

 

 

 

 

Sample of a Proposed Civic Engagement Project:

Title of activity: What does it feel like to be marginalized using the exemplar of a a senior citizen [referred to as "honored" citizen in Oregon].

 

Purpose of activity:To engage a senior citizen in a discussion about what it is like to be "old."

 

Learning Objectives:

   •   To better understand the perspective of someone unrelated to me who is at least 65 years old;

   •   To be able to define what the term "marginalized" person means;

   •   To evaluate my current beliefs about what it may be like to actually transition to becoming old in the United States.

 

Give details on the specific interview questions you might use, who you might select to interview, where the interview might take place [ideally it should be on the interviewee's home turf] and the actual location of the facility in relation to your home.

 

Describe what you learned which in terms of this senior citizen example would include your definition of how this individual is or has become "marginalized":

 

 

It is really not that bad I just don't know where to even start!
