Using either Hofsteade’s Value Dimensions OR the range of values described by Strodtbeck and Kluckhohn

Who Do You Think You Are?

Identify the various cultural groups you belong to, both voluntary and involuntary. Choose one of these groups and think about your membership in that group. Think about how belonging to that group influences your perceptions and values. For example, how is your worldview influenced by belonging to your family? By being male or female? By being Asian American, or White, or an international student? Etc.

Using either Hofsteade’s Value Dimensions OR the range of values described by Strodtbeck and Kluckhohn, describe how these value orientations affect your communication with others.

Be sure to make a clear link between what we have learned from class and how it relates to your analysis of your communication behaviors.  You should use terms we discussed in class in your analysis. Each paper should have an appropriate introductory paragraph with a central idea expressed. The paper should also have an appropriate conclusion that sums up the paper. Finally, the paper should be free of errors, use correct grammar and spelling and be college level quality.

Format: The paper should be a full 2-3 pages (500-750 words) (no shorter than 2 full pages/500 words), double-spaced, 12-point font (Times New Roman, Cambria, Book Antiqua,  Arial, or Calibri), and 1-inch margins, please. I do not need a cover page. If your only references are the book, I do not need a reference page. If you do use other sources, you should use APA format when citing in the text of the paper and on a reference page. Sloppy proofreading can cause you to receive a lower grade.
