Task 4 – Culture, Diversity and Language

Question

Task 4 – Culture, Diversity and Language

Read over your notes from analyzing the proverbs in Lesson 4. Consider what this analysis reflects about the relationship between language, culture, and diversity.

 

Explore this site, perusing folktales from different cultures: http://www.aaronshep.com/stories/folk.html

Find 2-3 folktales that you see as connected in some way (for example, they reflect similar, or very different, cultural values; or they rely on similar themes and/or imagery).

 

Determine what you can say about the relationship between language, culture, and diversity, drawing from both the proverbs and folk tales to support your claims.

 

 

Write a 2-3 page (double-spaced) analysis paper about the relationship between language, diversity, and culture, based on your analysis of the proverbs and folk tales. Structure your paper using the below guideline:

  • INTRODUCTION (1 paragraph): Include a thesis statement where you make a claim about the relationship between language, culture, and diversity.
  • BODY (3-4 paragraphs): Write 1-3 paragraphs using your analysis of proverbs to support your argument, and 1-3 paragraphs using your analysis of folk tales to support your argument. Organize your paragraphs in the order that makes most logical sense.
  • CONCLUSION(1 paragraph): Restate your thesis. Explain why thinking about language helps us understand and value diversity.
