 Exploring The Chinese Culture

Part of successfully exploring other cultures is having a solid foundation in the tenets of one’s culture. This assignment will have you evaluate key components of the Chinese culture. When you begin exploring the main foundation of other cultures, you will be able to identify similarities or dissimilarities to your own. This is also a good self-ethnographic activity.

Develop a presentation on the cultural identity with which you align yourself. Consider the following:

· Describe the Chinese culture.

· Explain the major components of its culture

· Explain the various symbols associated with the chinese culture including their meanings.

· Describe the other cultures you are integrated with besides Chinese. What are the similarities and differences between these cultures?

· Evaluate the roles that race, class, age, and gender play in Chinese culture.

Support your statements with examples and scholarly references.

You may use images and other media to present your perspective. Use the speakers’ notes to explain your statements in further detail.

Develop a 5-slide presentation in PowerPoint format.
