Sociology

Choose ONE of the following options:

Option #1 

Culture Shock: The overwhelming experience of living in a culture (or subculture) very different from your own is sometimes known as “culture shock.” Travelers, immigrants, and anthropologists often have difficulties trying to adjust to a new culture. Common reactions are confusion, disgust, homesickness, irritability, boredom, or withdrawal. Write about your experiences (traveling abroad, moving to another country, attending a new school). Did you make any cross-cultural bloopers? How were your usual values and assumptions challenged? How did you feel? How did you finally make the adjustment?   

Option #2 

Food and Culture: Everywhere in the world, food in its specific varieties has tremendous emotional and cultural significance. In some cultures, rice rather than beef is “real food for real people,” while in others, sweet potatoes constitute 90 percent of the diet. To reject food offered by others often means rejection of a social relationship. Discuss the cultural meanings of food and its presentation in your family or community (for example, Christmas, Thanksgiving, family reunions, or local festivals centered on food). What is the main food that you would miss the most if you no longer had it for celebrations? Why is it important to you, and what memories do you have attached to that food?
