These are the questions Dr. Robinson focuses on: What is culture? What are cultural categories? What are cultural expressions?
This photo gives insight into her first question. Culture is the way a group lives and get its needs met. Culture is passed on.
On the surface are food, dance, music, visual arts, language, celebrations, homes, pets, fun, games, clothing, jobs.
I love the idea on delving deeper than the tip of the iceberg into values and beliefs. Culture is much more than what you see. But, as Dr. Robinson says, we find the deeper we delve, the most similarities we find.
So, I am hoping teachers and students will chime in with comments about what questions they have about Japan ... About what I should bring back from Japan. Please add your comments and suggestions, 3/4 Team! Arigato!
