Paper assignment 2

Papers must be a minimum of 4 pages. 

1. Describe an experience you have had that demonstrates the interaction of person and situation. This may involve different reactions to similar stimuli due to a change in situation (context).

Please answer the following questions: Is there any cultural variation in the way the situations you describe influence people’s behavior?

In other words, do people from different cultures react to these situations differently than you do?

How might different types of knowledge (Legal, ideological, etc.) alter the perspective of persons of other cultures in this same situation? For example, in class we looked at an ambiguous picture of men dancing or fighting. Whereas everyone saw the same picture, their interpretation of what was happening differed.
