The American Ways
An Introduction to American Culture


Type:Writing/Presentation

Keyword:Culture,Discussion,Intensive Reading,Presentation,Research,Speaking,Vocabulary,Web Activities,American History

Course Description:

There are many definitions of culture. Some would define it as the art, literature, and music of people, their architecture, history, religion, their traditions. Some others might focus more on the customs and specific behavior of the people. The course chooses a sociological definition of culture as the way of life of a group of people, developed over time and passed down from generation to generation. This broad definition includes every aspect of human life and interaction. The course is chosen to make a values approach focusing on the traditional mainstream values that have attracted people to the states. The course traces how values affect aspects of life.



Learning outcomes:

By studying the information about the traditional, basic American values, where they came from, and how these values affect various institutions and aspects of life in the United States, the course is intended to increase students' awareness and understanding of the cultural values of the United States, their own country, and other countries. The information the students get in class will help them get a composite picture of American beliefs and practices as they relate to education, business, government, sports, recreation and so on.



Teacher's comment:

The real goal of this course is to help students become more sensitive to cultural differences and more accepting of them. However, there will always be things about another culture that we do not like no matter how much we understand it. The objective of this course is not to persuade others to approve of all facets of life in the United States but rather to help students understand it more fully and be able to adapt whenever it is desirable to do so. There are opportunities for exploiting one's foreign qualities but there are also times when being from a different culture can be a real liability. The instructor hopes that this introduction will help students make more informed choices. (Important* If a student misses 4 classes, he or she will automatically fail the course.)
