RESEARCH THE GEO-CULTURE

You are expected to be well-versed with regard to the geo-culture you chose to investigate. This means that you can provide, in YOUR OWN WORDS, a comprehensive summary of cultural elements (literature, performing  arts, gastronomy, clothing, entertainment, sports, etc.) and cultural customs (traditions, holidays, etiquette, norms for verbal communication, norms for non-verbal communication, etc.) regarding your chosen geo-culture. You should read any and all reliable sources regarding your chosen geo-culture that you can get your hands on. The Plaza College library is a great place to do this. Our librarian and her staff will be happy to help you locate peer-reviewed professional journal articles, and expert-written literature on the topic at hand. You should utilize Ebsco Host and/or ProQuest to acquire these sources. Professor Cirigliano would like to see, on paper, where you got your information. Therefore, you will be submitting a complete essay with in-text citations and a references page in APA format as your final report.
