CESL Bazaar

On Tuesday, April 22, CESL held its semi-annual International Bazaar. Students from more than 30 countries displayed crafts, wore traditional clothing and played music from their homelands. Please write about your experience yesterday, either in terms of what you contributed from your country or what you saw and learned from another culture.

Film Reflection

This week, we viewed the film "Women: A True Story - The Gender Tango". Please post your thoughts on one of the women or female societies portrayed in the film.

Social Relationships

This week, we read about different aspects of socializing in the US. Topics included meeting new people, types of friendships, gender roles, common courtesies, being on time, and gift giving. Please relate an experience you had relating to one of these topics.

American Values & Assumptions

This week, we read about how Americans perceive foreigners and how foreigners perceive Americans. Although much of the text addressed stereotypes, some of what we discussed was true. This week, I'd like you to write about some experience you had dealing with Americans based on the part of the Althen's chapter 1 that you were assigned to summarize. Good luck!
