Journal
Journaling is an activity used by students and professionals alike for self-reflection. It has many personal and professional benefits, including reducing stress and increasing learning (Alford, Malouff, & Osland, 2005; Liuolienë & Metiûnienë, 2009). You will be asked to journal about your thoughts, experiences, and/or insights.
Around the globe, there are practices related to cultural dress, cuisine, religion, and gender roles that are different from your own. If you are unfamiliar with certain cultural practices or have little understanding of the origins of cultural practices, you might find it difficult to tolerate the practice.
The assignment: (300–600 words)
Write a journal entry that includes the following:
- For this journal assignment, describe a cultural practice that challenges your limits of tolerance and explain why.
Support your Journal assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation. You are asked to provide a reference list for all resources, including those in the Learning Resources for this course.
Submit your assignment by Sunday 1/21/18.
