(8 pts) [Obj #1: Diversity] IF YOU CHOOSE THIS QUESTION, LEAVE NUMBER 4 BELOW BLANK: Over break, you and a friend from college visit their family. When you arrive, all of their family members hug you although you have only met their parents on one previous occasion, and everyone is wearing only underwear and rainboots. This strikes you as odd and very different from how your own family would behave if your friend visited, especially because no one seems to notice your surprise or explain what they are wearing. Describe things you might say, do, or think in reaction to feeling different in the situation and classify each according to the first 4 Ds (i.e., NOT discovery). Then explain how or why each of your specific “D” behaviors arises from the any of the 3 Ss.

(8 pts) [Obj #1: Worldviews] IF YOU CHOOSE THIS QUESTION, LEAVE NUMBER 2 BELOW BLANK: Ho (1987) compared racial/ethnic groups on key Value Orientations (Kluckhohn & Strodtbeck, 1961) and found more similarity among people of color than middle class white people. For example, at the time of this research, white Americans expressed a future orientation whereas Asian Americans and Hispanic Americans showed a blended past-present focus. First, explain the difference between these two value orientations. Second, select one (group’s) orientation and hypothesize HOW a person might develop this; that is, describe how this aspect of worldview might have been enculturated in daily interactions and by broader narratives surrounding a person (e.g., how does one acquire a specific time orientation).   [HINT: This isn’t asking you to have a definitive understanding of any of these cultural groups’ histories or lived experiences. You are simply hypothesizing how social factors could shape the worldview noted in Ho’s research.]
