Purpose
The purpose of this final project is for you to demonstrate your ability to describe the relationship between communication and culture and discuss specific verbal and nonverbal differences and similarities.
Overview
Prepare a final paper that compares two cultures that are both similar and different, often highlighting unexpected differences, such as two different cultural regions of France or Italy; or similarities and distinctions between two distant cultures, such as Australian Aboriginal and Cherokee; or between a culture of origin and an immigrant culture, such as Filipino and Filipino-American.
Include in your comparison paper the following:
1. A general introduction to the project (why these two cultures?)
2. An overview of relevant contexts (e.g., historical, geographical) that might influence culture.
3. Research, discuss, compare and contrast different aspects of each culture. Choose three focus areas from the list below to include in your comparison. NOTE: At least one of the chosen focus areas needs to be a communicative component.
4. A conclusion should be provided discussing what students have learned overall about the cultures.
