Second Blog

Good morning, afternoon or evening class. I am very pleased with the responses so far from the blogs. Keep up the good work. Your next blog assignment is located below. Please read the directions carefully. Email me your responses. Have a great holiday weekend.

World Cultures (WC)
1. Go to the following website http://www.cba.uni.edu/buscomm/InternationalBusComm/world/asia/index.html

2. You are to go to the Asian section, pick a country (doesn't matter which one) and read on the social graces of that country. They are divided up into various sections. List 10. Next go to either the South American or European section, find a country and do the same as with the Asian country. Make sure you list 10. Then I want to take one of those countries that you picked and then compare it to American social graces.

3. For example Column #1 Russia Column #2 France Column #3 Russia vs. the U.S.

4. Make some notes for yourself because you may have to report to class for discussion on Tuesday.

Cultural Tapestry (CT)

1. I would like for you to read on line articles on Affirmative Action. You can do a standard google search. I would like for you to list both the positive and negatives of affirmative action in your own words. ( Please list a minimum of 5). I would also like your opinion on the subject as well.

2. I want to also watch t.v. this weekend and I want you to write down or count the number of sexist images that you see on t.v. and describe them. Don't email this to me but have it ready to discuss on Tuesday.
