One of the real challenges of living as an expatriate is handling all the details of daily life.
Discuss an experience of living in another culture by identifying one or more areas of daily life (e.g., shopping, going to school, paying bills) that you had to learn to navigate.
How did you go about learning the appropriate cultural rules?
Indicate what those rules are and how they differ from what you expected.
Relate your discussion to anthropological concepts and issues covered in class.
Incorporate specific, cited references to the course material to support your statements and main points.
Make sure that your paper is 1000-1500 words long, with numbered pages.
Make sure that your paper is double-spaced, with one-inch margins.
Use in-text citations in AAA (American Anthropological Association) or APA (American Psychological Association) style.
Record all source documents cited in a references list at the end of your paper. Follow bibliographic formatting as shown in UMGC’s Online Guide to Writing and Research (https://www.umgc.edu/current-students/learning-resources/writing-center/online-guide-to-writing/index.cfm) or the AAA (http://www.aaanet.org/publications/style_guide.pdf) or APA(http://www.umgc.edu/library/citationguides.shtml) style guides. Indicate in your paper which style you are using.
Be sure to include your name, the date, and the assignment topic on your paper.
Save your Microsoft Word document as an RTF file. Please do not save it as an HTML, HTM, or DOC file.
When you save your document, title it with your last name, section number, and assignment name.
