- How do people from the cultural group communicate their identities through their architecture or how they organize their private and public environments?

- How do they establish and manifest roles in relationships?
Give concrete examples to illustrate your selected culture's value orientations and explain how these value orientations influence the group's communication behaviors. Include:
- High vs. low-context
- Power-distance
- Individualistic vs. collectivistic
- Uncertainty avoidance
- Polychronic vs. monochronic
Identify one or two events in history when this group's identity or values have been clearly challenged or encroached upon. Describe how these events may have shaped this culture's perception of the world.
Explain how this culture's identity is expressed through mass media channels (e.g., radio, newspapers, magazines, websites) that are created or produced by individuals within the culture.
