What is culture?

Take a dry erase marker and come write on the board!

Culture

Reba and Ambler

You are going to have an opportunity to experience living in a different culture for a short time. You will either be members of the Reba culture or the Ambler culture. First you will learn about your own culture, then you will meet the other culture.

Meet for 5 minutes with your group and discuss the following questions:

• What does your culture like to do?

• How do you interact or relate to yourselves? To others?

• How do you speak? What is your body language like?

• If you had a cultural motto, what would it be?

What enduring issues do you think are most present across these maps?

Power, Conflict, Interconnectedness

What was the historical context of these major changes?

•Prior to the Crusades, Africa and Asia developed extensive trading contacts.

•After the Crusades, goods from Africa and Asia were in high demand by Europeans.

•These goods were expensive and difficult to obtain due to the Ottoman Empire which controlled the trading routes.

•To meet European demands, Western Europe began exploring and establishing colonies around the world to gain access and control of the trading routes and resources.

These three empires all gained, maintained, and consolidated power and dealt with interconnectedness in different ways.
