Assignment:
We are all descended either from immigrants to America or from Native Americans. All of us, therefore, have in our background a culture other than the one that governs most of our present social life. Describe some of the similarities and differences between norms of your cultural background and that of the dominant American culture.
Describe how these similarities and differences affect your life. How has your own cultural background contributed to the mix that is the dominant American culture? How did you "learn" your culture? Have you developed a "new" culture as an adult? If so, what influenced you to do so?
