Cultural Observation

 

I would like students to observe something that relates to our discussions this semester. For example, observing something in your family, at work, or in your community that relates to our course.  You might choose to write about oppression or privilege during the COVID-19 pandemic, something that relates to #BlackLivesMatter or the election, or something that your family or community is advocating for.

 

After the observation, students will write a 1,000-word reflection that states what the event or space was they observed, who was there, where and when this observation took place, and what their experience was like. The reflection must also reference at least one topic from our class.

Cultural Observation

For this assignment, attend a festival or visit a grocery store that caters to a specific ethnicity other than your own, such as Greek, Chinese, Japanese, Middle Eastern, or Mexican. Spend a significant amount of time there observing the setting. Consider the following in your observations:

1.       What do you smell?

2.       What types of food are available that are unfamiliar to you?

3.       How are the food and other items presented in ways that seem unusual or different from your experience?

4.       Watch and listen to the people. How do they interact with each other? How are they dressed?

Write an essay (250-500-words) thoroughly describing the experience:

1.       Where did you go? Who went with you? How long did you stay?

2.       What did you notice, especially about the way the people interacted?

3.       To what do you attribute the differences you saw or smelled or heard?

4.       Reflect on how much this experience stretched your comfort zone and how this observation might affect your intercultural communication.

Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.
