CAS 1543 (Ethical and Intercultural Leadership): Week 9 Guide
Communicating Cultures Through Challenges
This week encourages students to explore how culture influences personal experiences, beliefs, and interactions with others. Through self-reflection, students examine the dynamic nature of cultural identity, the impact of cross-cultural experiences, hidden cultural norms, or childhood experiences that have shaped their values and perspectives.
Deliverables
- Select one of the four discussion prompts provided.
- Write one short reflective paragraph responding to the selected prompt.
- Your response may focus on:
- How different cultural influences have shaped your thoughts or actions.
- What you learned from interacting with someone from another culture.
- A cultural belief or practice that is often hidden or unspoken.
- A childhood experience that taught you an important cultural value or practice.
- Support your reflection with personal experiences and thoughtful analysis where appropriate.
