Investigative Assignment : "Education and Culture"

Part A

Talk with 3 people (friends, peers, co-workers, family or strangers) about their perspective on education and culture.

Consider asking them the following questions. Feel free to ask others.

1) When you hear the word culture, what does that word mean for you? Would you say you have a culture? Please explain.

2) Do you think there's a connection between culture and educational success (e.g., good grades in school, college graduation)? Why or why not? What about any connection between culture and economic success?

3) Think about your own educational experiences, do you think there's a culture in schools? Why or why not?

4) If they say yes to #3 ask: do you think school culture can influence whether or not students are successful in school? Why or why not?

Part B

In 4 double-spaced pages:

1) In 2 pages, describe who you talked to (no names), summarize what they said, and discuss any connection between what you heard and the course;

2) In 2 pages, discuss YOUR perspective on the relationship between education and culture. How would you respond to the questions in Part A using your own experiences and perspective?
