Assignment
Write 2-3 pages (plus a title and reference page, no abstract) after selecting a single cultural artifact you believe best represents the culture in which you live today. Addresses the below points from the perspective of someone trained in the Humanities and include a minimum of 3 references. You may also include an image or excerpt of your cultural artifact. Respond to the following:
· Present a detailed description of the artifact, and analyze in detail how the artifact relates to the values and beliefs of the culture.
· Investigate and evaluate the deep cultural roots of your artifact.
· What historical roots allowed your artifact to come into being?
· Which cultural periods might have influenced its overall development as we see it today?
· How do you anticipate this artifact being passed to future generations?
· What kinds of evolutions might it undergo as culture changes?
If you fail to fully answer the above questions you will not receive all possible points. Your grade will be mainly awarded on content (understanding and interpretation), research, information literacy, critical thinking, organization, and grammar.
