What is your cultural background, your family’s cultural background (go beyond “American”)?

Discuss how values and beliefs are transmitted from our social and cultural environments. (At least 2 paragraphs.)

Unless noted in the syllabus, this course requires that all DBs, papers, projects, etc. be submitted using APA writing style.

If there is no attempt at in-text citation plus a reference section or if there is use of direct quotes / verbatim information from any source the earned score will be 0. Be sure to paraphrase rather than use direct quotes. For outside sources, the APA in-text citation should be placed just after the paraphrase. There should be a reference section at the end of your essay with references to match your in-text citatio
