In this assignment, you will begin the self-authorship process by making an inventory of your cultural background: the cultural contributions that are most important to you and your reasons for valuing them.
The humanities are academic disciplines that study the contributions of different cultures. But you also encounter various cultures outside the classroom and feel their influence in your life. How you think of yourself, how you see the world around you, and what you consider important are all part of culture. Your values are affected by the cultural traditions you participate in, and they are even reflected in the entertainment you enjoy.
This assignment asks you to take inventory of the cultural influences on your life and share the ones you consider most important by constructing a virtual humanities scrapbook.
