Week 6 asks students to define American culture based on their own and other's perspectives. They examine American culture based on history, gender roles, music, freedom, spirituality/religion, traditions, education, politics, race/ethnicity, and sports/leisure. They also discuss how things like clothing, tattoos, piercings, and facial hair are often dictated by cultural values, traditions, and norms.
