Intercultural Communication

Directions:
Your assignment is to conduct some research to identify 3 major events that took place during the month/year : APRIL/1997 and in the country in which you were born USA.

The idea is for you to conduct some research into the culture that existed during this time period.  You are to examine major news events, sports results, entertainment events, great inventions, as well as other culturally specific material (popular music. TV shows, fashion, technology . . .) that contributed to the aura of this time in history.  I am looking for you to identify 3 major events/items that occurred or existed (other then your birth) that were culturally significant during the year and in the place (culture) of your birth. The purpose of this assignment is to gain some insight into the culture you were born into, which has had some influence on the person you are today.

Students,

I wanted to give you some further clarification on what I expect in your “Happy Birthday to Me” Assignment.  Please use the following guidelines to help you in your creation of this assignment.

I will allow it to be any events that happened in your BIRTH YEAR, which is a bit expanded in time line and offer more events.
I do not put a page length on this as it can vary, but you must thoroughly describe the events with good detail and outside experts who comment on the events.
Be thorough and not just list the events but describe them and tell of their importance on the present day.
Please also use terms and concepts we have studied from the text to help support why these events were such an influential impact on society.  At least 3 terms should be used throughout the paper.  Boldface your use of terms so your intent sticks out.
