Think of a close relationship you have in your life with someone different from you.
In your initial post write about how you’ve experienced each of the six dialectics discussed in this week’s reading in that relationship. (NOTE: This will likely be your longest post to date. This week’s reading is Chapter 10 from Intercultural Communications in Context 8e, Martin & Nakayama.

Option #3: Cultural Context and Origins
Option A: 
Choose one of the examples of music or dance in the Gateway into Music and Dance Resource that you find particularly interesting to reflect on in depth.
Discuss your thoughts about this example using at least two quotes about elements of music and/or dance from the Required Learning Resources. 
Explain the reasons why this particular example piqued your curiosity, what you have learned about its historical origins and cultural context in the Gateway Resource and/or Learning Resources, and what you would like to learn more about.

Step One: Find text on a topic that conflicts with your patterned beliefs from the Chapter One readings. Copy and paste that text into your initial post for this week along with a paragraph you write describing how and why the information conflicts with your patterned beliefs.
Step Two: Ask open-ended questions (NOT yes or no questions) to three of your peers regarding the content of their initial posts. The questions you ask should encourage further and deeper thought from your peer on how to address the conflict they are experiencing with the text they copied and pasted from the Chapter One readings.

Write a brief essay describing the difference between ascribed and avowed, and dominant and non-dominant identities and give examples of each in yourself or another.

Locate five images depicting examples of different kinds of visual art from Egypt. These examples can include paintings, sculpture, and architecture and should reflect historical, traditional art as well as modern-day artwork.
Include all five images with a caption in a document. Each caption should include 50-100 words describing what the art piece is, who created it, the year it was created, and why it is valued in your country.
