- Additional findings of your choice
For your analysis of groups 7 and 8, focus on gender and disability issues from your own cultural affiliation as identified in GACB 2300.1. If you have opted to research an additional cultural group of personal interest, address it as appropriate, using your own judgment to select from the listed criteria.
Synthesize your discoveries into a 300–400 word overview of each culture, with an emphasis on the cultural differences. Include graphics (photographs, maps, charts, illustrations, artifacts, architecture, etc.) to illustrate the diversity of cultures. Conclude each summary with a brief discussion of any difficult diversity differences that exist and how those differences might impact one’s life.
