Prompt: Use one or two the readings we have used in class and other academic sources to develop a topic thesis from one of the following options concerning culture from canceling, identity, and clashing. Use one of the options below a guide or base for your paper.
Option A) We as a class have discussed various angles of culture from the current problems of canceling to clashes of two different cultures. Analyze one, or two, or all three of these angles of our culturally challenged society. What are they telling us? What is the point?
Option B) Pick one film from a limited number and analyze it in terms of culture. What are the cultural differences between the two presented in the film? Why is it difficult for each to understand and accept the other? How does the central protagonist deal with the conflicts to accomplish their own dreams, and does the conflict get resolved? How? Why? What is the cultural identity found for the protagonist? Overall, so what? What’s the point? (This is a limited option)
Option C) Come up with your own interesting topic that rivals that of the other two options. This topic must revolve around the themes we discussed in class. Please consult with me prior to writing for greenlight.
