 Instructions

In Unit 1, you learned that culture is a complex term in the Humanities.  Culture is a presentation of the arts and other manifestations of human achievement collectively ‘and’ culture is the collective customs, arts, social institutions, and achievements of a particular nation, people, or other social group. In other words, culture can be ‘vast’ as in popular culture such as a music icon or it can be ‘intimate’ such as a street performer playing a stringed instrument.

For this first assignment, you will research aspects of any culture that has influenced your life directly in a positive and uplifting way.

Then, you are to create a PowerPoint presentation with images that explores the culture you chose in these 5 specific areas:

Society (this can include customs, holidays, government system)

Geography (include the location in the world and topography information (mountains, oceanfront, metropolitan city, etc.)

Fashion

Climate

Cuisine

Topic examples: Some students were or are a part of the military and have been deployed to places all over the world. Perhaps you spent a winter in the snow-covered German mountains or lived with a view of Japan’s Mount Fuji and the experience gave you deeper insights into yourself, your life goals, etc.

Format: 

Title slide that provides your name, course name, date, and names the culture being explored (Slide 1)

Content slides that state the cultural component, include an image, and state key points in bullets or in the ‘notes’ feature. Aim for 3 relevant bullets per slide ‘or’ provide a well-developed paragraph in the ‘notes’ feature (Slides 2 – 6)

Reflection slide: in a well-developed paragraph, share the ‘why’ and the ‘how’ this culture impacted your life. (Slide 7)

Reference slide: for images/sources used. (Slide 8)
