TITLE: WHAT IS CULTURE? - HANDOUT 2

Culture Flower Debriefing Questions

Show your partner or the members of your discussion group the information you have entered on your Culture Flower and tell them a little something about each petal. Then, answer the following questions:

1. Which petal on the flower do you identify with most strongly?

2. What do you appreciate most about this group or cultural aspect? What do you least appreciate about this group or cultural aspect?

3. What incorrect assumptions or stereotypes do people make about your group or chosen cultural aspect?

4. Pick the groups from two petals that are the most different from each other. Discuss the ways you have to change your behavior when switching between these groups. For example, if you speak one language at home and another at school, does it take you a few minutes to get comfortable after switching languages?
