Instructor Note: The course textbook and any other course reading material is a reference and needs to be cited in your submission and included in the reference section. When paraphrasing you must use in-text citations and reference the source.

Your post should also comment on how your particular cultural characteristics compare with your fellow peers. Your post should be no less than 250 words. At the end of your post, please indicate the word count. If you are using references, please use the proper citation rules
