As this is a personal reflection, it is not necessary to cite sources. You will be able to submit the essay to Canvas during the final exam period for this class. Submissions will not be accepted outside of the final exam period. One of the goals of this course is to increase knowledge and understanding of how a culture outside the U.S. is impacted after immigrating to the U.S. due to assimilation and/or acculturation and how human expression from cultures other than your own shapes your understanding of cultural experiences and practices of others and yourself. In this essay, please reflect on what you learned about cultural expression through getting to know cultural practices, foods, religions, etc. 1. What specifically did you learn about the immigration experience that you didn’t understand before this course? 2. How does that knowledge impact your own world view? Give examples. 3. How might your knowledge of other cultures give you a better understanding of your own? Did you learn anything new about your own culture through this process? 4. Comment on the idea that the world is globally interconnected. Give examples. We have heard that knowledge is power. I encourage you to use your power to change the world for the better! All the best and may your dreams come true!
