Assignment Details Studying other cultures through a humanistic lens allows people to understand how different cultures came about and how and why people behave differently from one place to another (Lombrozo, 2015). This can be fascinating in itself, but this knowledge also empowers people to work together with others who hold views different from their own so that they may find solutions to small, everyday concerns, as well as significant, large-scale issues facing everyone around the globe. As you close out this course, reflect on the following: • How has cultural studies changed your view of a cultural practice, organization, or system? • How might you apply some of what you have learned in this course about the study of the humanities to your personal life, in your workplace, or your current or future career? • In responding to your peers in the Discussion Board (DB), you can seek common ground with your peers. You can also share additional ways the material from this course can apply to daily life.
