This week assignment 2 will focus on stretching and expanding your comfort zones. This week you need to visit a grocery or retail store, restaurant, faith community, community meeting or event that is different from you and those with whom you associate. I want you to find that place that you have always wondered about, but felt too uncomfortable to go, a place where it is visible you are the minority. For people of color in this class, this may be your every day reality and it is OK to write about that. When you are there analyze the culture. How do you believe you are perceived and what is different and similar to you. In 500 words, analyze your experience and compare it to those who are from that culture who may have a similar experience in places that you are comfortable. Use the Intercultural Praxis Model as a guide.
