The important consideration here is involvement, not just as a bystander or observer, but engagement with people from a cultural group other than your own. Attendance at cultural events or rituals, spending time at places where people from the culture hang out, along with interviews of people from the culture are all excellent ways to engage with the cultural group you select. As you do your field experience, you will also support your understanding of the culture through library research. Examples and ideas will be discussed in class.

located in the Far East Asia and the Indian sub-continent. The Latin culture is composed of
nations that speak Spanish while the Middle Eastern culture involves countries in the Middle
East and are mostly of Arabic origin (Bordo, 2004). Lastly, there is the African culture that is
