For this assignment, you will create your As you think about your co-cultures, think about the following questions: own list of co-cultures with which you identify and then write an expository essay explaining how these cultural groups influence your communication with those who may be outside of your co-cultures. To begin your Assignment, think about the co-cultures with which you identify. Review page 12 of the text in which the authors provide an example of co-cultures by describing a woman named Anna who identifies herself as an American, a Native American, a Navajo, a Midwesterner, a married woman, a mother, a lawyer, a person with a yearly income of over $100,000, and a Catholic. To how many cultural groups do you relate? Does one take prominence in terms of personal importance? Would you be comfortable limiting yourself to only one co-culture? Why/ why not? How we describe ourselves and the groups that we identify with is a significant aspect of understanding intercultural communication since we do not belong to just one cultural group. It is also important to note that culture is not just a racial or ethnic designation. Once you have identified your co-cultures, you can begin writing your expository essay explaining how these cultural groups influence your communication with those who may be outside of your co-cultures. Your essay must include the following: List the co-cultures you identify with and would use to describe yourself. Explain which co-culture is the dominant one; the one you would use to describe yourself the most. Explain why you would or would not be comfortable limiting yourself to one co-culture as a description. Briefly explain how these co-cultures might influence your communication with those outside of your co-cultures, Assignment Guidelines Each essay should include: A title page The body of the essay (900-1200 words; the word count does not include the title or reference page) A reference page Use standard margins: 1″ on all sides Use standard 12-point font size, Times New Roman or Arial Use standard double-spacing Use left-aligned text, do not right-justify Your essay should follow the conventions of APA style, including a minimum of two parenthetical citations (one of which can be your textbook, and the remaining from other sources).
