Communications Question

Question

*Please just make up a person that you are “interviewing”

Instructions:

Identify an individual from another culture or co-culture to interview for this assignment. Do consider your classmates and their co-cultures; anyone in class you would like to interview? (examples: ethnicity, race, religion, country of origin, age/generation, socioeconomic class, or groups with a common trait, belief, or hobby such as Cosplayer, Trekkie, or Nudist (I indicate these as hobbies only because they are not 24/7… I don’t think). The list are just some options, email your instructor if you need more ideas or feedback on your idea).
Develop 8-10 interview questions that are designed to help you understand the culture. You are not required to ask all of the questions, but you should have a variety of questions to choose from. Your questions should be open-ended questions- meaning they can’t be answered as “yes” or “no”. (Consider some of the content you wrote about in your own Cultural Identity paper- i.e., Hofstede’s and Kluckhohn & Strodtbeck’s Value Orientations)
Set a date and time for conducting your interview, and take notes in response to each question you ask.
Write a paper that addresses the paper guidelines listed below.
PAPER GUIDELINES:
3-5 pages, double spaced, Arial or Times New Roman, 11 or 12 point font.

Address the following components:

Name of the interviewee (or pseudonym if the interviewee prefers), and the culture or co-culture to which they belong.
Reasons why you chose the culture/co-culture and interviewee.
The expectations you had going into the interview, and whether they were met.
Summarize the responses given to your questions, and indicate how they illustrate concepts or theories that we’ve addressed this term.
The most valuable lesson about the culture that you learned from the interview.

Attach a list of the questions that you prepared for the interview, and underline the questions you actually asked.
