Culture is defined as the boundary between different people from different ends of the earth. For my project I had to interview another person from a different culture. This was difficult for me because I had no idea where to start because I didn’t know what made my culture specific to me. I found my interview subject relatively fast and I sat down and asked the questions. I found my subject from my boss I interviewed my bosses boyfriends sister and we went at it.

Our individualized culture and history depends on us to better understand where we come from. It is necessary for each generation to preserve and continue our customs and beliefs.

My first reaction when receiving this assignment was surprise. Usually, a "cultural plunge" would involve a person entering a cultural type environment that is not within the person's comfort zone, as described by Pham (2013). However, since this type of plunge is also outside of our comfort zone, I suppose that it could also qualify as a cultural plunge. I am looking forward to trying this exercise, since I believe it will teach me a lot about not only myself, but also about others.

The culture bag assignment evoked feelings of nostalgia and pride for me. While creating my bag I reflected on my grandparents and their influence on my beliefs and customs. I now recognize how being first generation Irish, affects my traditions and values more than persons from later cohorts. The assignment led to my discovery that culture is unique and unpredictable as the individual. For example, my culture directly correlates to my ethnicity, but it does not for everyone.

My cultural immersion focus is on the religious war in Nigeria. One of the interesting things I found in my research was that, in Nigeria the Christian faith and the Muslim faith represents the greatest percentage of religions. I also learned that the Christians and Muslims pray every day several times a day. With that being said, I wondered if they believed in a higher entity prayed every day, who they are praying to? And what is their belief system based on? (question 1) Since their Christian faith seems to be divided into Catholic, Protestant or some other, I decided to attend a typical Catholic Church service and a Friday mid-day Muslim prayer service. Maybe I should not have used the

For my cultural immersion experience, I choose to attend meditation at a Buddhist temple. Lately, I have been very interested in the Buddhist religion so I thought that this would be a good introduction into it. I am not a very religious person nor did I know much about Buddhism before this experience. I did do some research and was able to find a meditation for beginners session at the Temple of Harmony. This specific temple is located in Joliet, Illinois. I did some research beforehand on what to expect for my immersion experience. I quickly learned from looking over the temple’s website that people of all races, religions, and ages came to practice Buddhism at the temple. This made me a little bit less nervous for my experience since

A cultural event that I have attended in the past that has had a memorable affect on my life was a Native American Powwow. This event takes place every year, Thanksgiving weekend in Tucson, AZ. I arrived in the late afternoon, as the sun was going down. I remember seeing many different types of people, from tourists to the different Native American performers. The physical setting of this particular celebration was outside, and based around, one main circle. Drums were beating so loud, you could feel the pound inside your chest. Different activities were going on all around, such as dancers, vendors, and a huge variety of foods to choose from. The circular dancing arena is known as the arbor, this area is blessed before any of the events

For my second culture immersion project I went to eat at a Mexican restaurant. I went with my group members Ryan, Brian and Brian's girlfriend. I went this pass Tuesday after we had our group meeting. I don’t recall the name of the restaurant but I know it was downtown Appleton near by the Walgreens. . This was good choice for the project because I never have eaten at an actually Mexican restaurant before.

As part of my research for the LGBT community I attended the Ybor city, Tampa Pride Parade. The Tampa Pride organization celebrates the progress of the LGBT movement in our local community and raises awareness about social and employment discrimination, housing, families, and religious freedom. This year the parade paid tribute to the shooting victims, of the gay nightclub named Pulse, an unfortunate event that took place in Orlando last year, when a man opened fire killing 49 people and wounding 53 others in a terrorist attack/hate crime.

For the second cultural activity, I watched an Arabic makeup tutorial by Huda Kattan. I chose this activity because I have tried makeup products from her brand “Huda Beauty,” and when coming across makeup tutorials she always had very high ratings. After looking more into Huda Beauty, I found out that the company is owned by her and her two sisters. Although she was born in the US both of her parents are Iraqi and her mother was born in one of the wealthiest families in Baghdad.

1. Culture is perceived as a way of thinking that influences the behaviors of a group of people.

Due to bad agricultural practices, many farmers just simply couldn’t produce enough food to feed themselves and their families and were forced to turn over their farms to large estates, which put into practice the art of crop rotation, planting grape and olive plants to replenish the soils with much needed nutrients. The wine and olive oils produced from this practice created more exports for the country, leading to monetary gains, and expanded trade.
