HSC4M Final Exam: Course Reflection Instructions: Answer the following three parts thoughtfully to demonstrate your growth throughout the semester. Question 1: Redefining Culture (5 Marks) At the beginning of this course, we developed the following working definition of culture: “Culture is the aspect in which people are able to categorize themselves in order to better understand themselves and others in the ways branching from material to immaterial objects and feelings/beliefs. It is when people get together with similar interests in order to gain a feeling of belonging and comfort with their life and way of living while being able to accept and adapt to those perspectives of others.” Now that you have completed the course and studied various theories and perspectives: Would you change, add to, or delete any part of this definition? Explain why or why not using specific concepts learned in the course (e.g., cultural paradigms, globalization, or power dynamics).   Question 2: The Stages of Change Continuum (3 Marks) We have frequently referred to the “Stages of Change” Continuum (Pre-contemplation to Maintenance) throughout this course. How do you think the general public would benefit from being aware of this Continuum? Could this be used as a tool in specific aspects of our culture or society? Explain your reasoning.   Question 3: The “One Sentence” Takeaway (2 Marks) In exactly one sentence, describe how taking this course has fundamentally changed your perspective or knowledge of culture.
