Week Four Cultural Event Folder Discussion

Week Four Cultural Event Folder Discussion

Q This week's assignment is to virtually attend a cultural event (more details in the cultural and social event discussion folder). Choose a cultural event from another culture, not your own culture. Examples include pow wows, Oktoberfests, Kwanzaa celebrations, Greek festivals, Chinese New Year, Obon festivals, etc. A second option is to view a speech by someone from another culture who is speaking about their culture. The topic must be culturally related. You will need to write a one page reflection on the experience, including at least one screen shot AND the URL and submit it in the week four discussion folder. Please include greater detail than usual for this discussion as it is worth more points than other discussions. A church service, museum exhibit, foreign film, music concert, family event, etc., does not qualify as a cultural event. Please respond to at least one other student's cultural event..

I had attended my cousin's brother’s cross-cultural wedding ceremony online, and it was one of my most memorable experiences to date. His wife is Pakistani and they had two ceremonies, one following the Americana style and Christian tradition and another one in Pakistani style. Due to mass gathering restrictions, most of us attended the event virtually. I honestly have so many things to say about this experience.
