The Scenario
Everyone in your life has developed subjective culture, just like you have. Select someone in your life who you will analyze based on what you have read in chapter four. You will be doing a comparison, just like I did in the Instructional material section.
In the first section, identify the person, how you know them, and what are some of the easily identifiable characteristics of them and of you. These characteristics need to be given in comparison, like this…. He is ______, but I am ______ OR We both _______. Also, in this first paragraph, you need to include an outside source. Find a source that describes your type of relationship. Maybe it is best friends, significant other, mother/child, boss/employee, and share some insight you gained about this type of relationship from the reading of the source. Make sure that you cite this source at the end of the information you borrow from that source. Use a ( ) in the text, and put a full MLA citation at the end of this analysis.
Then, in the second paragraph, do a comparative analysis
- You must number your comparative points just like I did (for the couple in the example).
- You must include a minimum of ten bold terms in your analysis sentences.
- You must bold those ten terms and use them correctly.
- You must include ( ) after each term you use to identify the page number where the term is found.
- You must put a full textbook citation at the end of the analysis.
Your purpose for this analysis is to discover that you have subjectivity in your own cultural formation just as the person you selected for the analysis does. As ethical communicators, we need to be aware of the formation of culture within different individuals and how their culture can have an impact on the way you interact with each other – positive and/or negative.
