Question:
1. Give an example of a perception in the workplace someone had of you that was incorrect (or vice versa). Why do you think that was (based on the concepts covered so far in this course—include examples of verbal and nonverbal behavior involved in this workplace scenario)? Cite at least one of your readings in your response.
2. Select a cultural group (or subcultural group) you have or will likely encounter in the workplace. This group should be one that you don’t know much about, but would like to learn more about. You will identify three ways in which you will explore this culture. You can select the three ways from the following list:
1. Talk with someone from this culture.
2. Watch YouTube videos from/about this culture.
3. Watch a documentary from/about this culture.
4. Watch television programming from/about this culture.
5. Read a book/article/newspaper from/about this culture.
6. Listen to music from this culture.
7. Go to a physical public space (where you are welcome) where people from this culture reside.
8. Go to an online site/forum/group/social media page from a person or group from this culture. (If appropriate, talk with people.)
9. Read academic articles from/about this culture. 10. (There are many other ways to engage, so you can always reach out to your professor to approve other ways of cultural engagement). To complete this assignment: First write a short paragraph about why you selected the cultural group you did.
• Discuss what you want to learn about this cultural group and why.
• Discuss how this relates to your current or future place of work. Second, list your three resources (links if applicable). Write 1-2 paragraphs about how each source will give/has given you insights into this culture. (Know you will be engaging with these sources for your class essay.)
