Today’s Agenda Culture Clash 2. Book Circles: Prejudice Reflection 3. Late Work/Reading

Cultural Differences/Culture Bias As we listen to the audio, listen for examples of culture bias and think about how cultural differences like these could lead to culture clash and conflict.

Culture Clash Last week we talked a lot about culture and cultural universals. How do people typically feel about their own culture? What examples of cultural bias can you identify in the audio of David Sedaris’ essay? How can visiting a foreign country either dispel stereotypes or prejudice?

Book Circles Week #1 Reflection Write your answers to one of the following prompts: What specific examples have you already seen of stereotypes, ingroup thinking, prejudice, culture clash, or discrimination? How have these added to the conflict of the novel? Make a prediction: how could these elements possible escalate to (further) discrimination? 2 paragraph minimum with details from novel. Predict: which cultures might come into conflict? Why? Where might you anticipate ingroup/outgroup thinking? Why? Make a prediction about upcoming conflict and how these elements might contribute. 2 paragraph minimum with details from novel. If you finish early, you may work on late work or read your choice novel.
