Question: What is the value of immersing in non-western culture?
ANY plagiarism will result in a zero on the final exam and I will report you to the Honor Code
Director. (Plagiarism can also include resubmitting any previously written work (Quizzes and Unit Reflections). In text citation is fine, for example: (pg, 265). Avoid quotations, rather
paraphrase the information and use a citation. Hint: the more you can put things in your own
words and include a citation, the more it demonstrates your understanding of the material.
Please NOTE: You MAY NOT resubmit any previously submitted work. Resubmitting work
(from any other assignments) falls under the category of plagiarism. Any plagiarism on the
assignment will earn a zero

Clear, original, thoughtful organization and analysis
Many SPECFIC / detailed examples from the course content that backs up your analysis
Examples that demonstrate your wide-range of knowledge from the content covered
Examples from in-class activities and readings
HINT: The way this exam is graded is the MORE details and specific examples you throw at me
– the better your score. I highly recommend you begin with braining storming, reviewing your
notes, and creating an outline (thus giving you a road map so to speak) before you start writing
your exam.

In the 21st century, cultural interactions have become a norm with people learning different cultural activities. In the non-western culture, family and religion are the most important things than riches. Given that the world’s population comprises non-Western societies, their cultural perspective brings conflict and instability around the globe. However, immersing in non-western culture brings more understanding between different ethnic groups.
