Cultural mapping
You will interview a family member, friend, or partner to obtain information about their cultural identity. You will submit a 1-page, single spaced, 11 pt. Arial font, 1 inch margin paper. In your paper, please discuss aspects of their cultural identity, how they may overlap with your own identities, where you differ, and anything new you learned from completing this assignment. You can use the cultural identity wheel that we discussed in class as a tool for the interview.
