Discussion

Step 1: Listen to and take notes on the lecture on History ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcqyLEKzFqQ )

Step 2 : In a 200-300 word post, reflect on two elements of your culture’s history. Think of: the geography of the locale where you were enculturated, the climate of the locale where you were enculturated, historical events within your culture, well-known heroes that you and your collective culture look up to, and/or stories that ring true to your collective culture that impact how you think and you see the world today. Explain how these two elements impact your psyche/thinking today. Be specific. Don’t forget to integrate course terms from the Lecture on Cultural History. Be sure to apply the suggestions from Analyzing versus Summarizing in modules.

Please note: You must first post your own original initial response (at least 200 words in length) before viewing the initial responses of your classmates. Do not post a blank response first and then view the responses of your classmates as doing so will compromise the originality of your own response and result in points being deducted from your score on the assignment or a grade of “0” (zero).

Step 3 : Read at least 5 of your colleagues’ initial responses. Choose 2 to comment to. Each comment should be at least 100 words in length and add to the conversation (reflect on their experience, add your own examples, respectfully debate what is said, etc.) Often a student will choose to comment on a response that was most helpful to them in understanding the course material better or one that they found interesting or intriguing.
