To build cultural competence, one has to know other cultures. This assignment will allow you to gather information on another country. You will each do a different country. Therefore, you must inform me about the country that you have chosen.
Details of the Assignment
The purpose of this assignment is to write a mainly informative five-page research paper (+ cover page and your references page) on a country that is not your native country. The purpose is to inform (teach) your audience about the country, so your tone will be mostly neutral. The items that are listed below should be covered in the paper. Because the paper aims at developing cultural competence, there should have this concept as part of your thesis statement. Therefore, in your introduction formulate a thesis statement that relates to the process of researching the information about the country to the development of cultural competence or any other relevant SEL competency.
Your paper must have a thesis statement that encapsulates the overall purpose of the paper.
(a) The paper is being done in APA style, so you should have headings and subheadings consistent with APA format.
(b) Therefore, have subheadings that discuss the country’s
• history (summary of ancient to modern times)
• geography (physical and human)
• government/politics,
• economics, (agriculture, mining, industry, etc.) and
• culture.
(c) Have a subheading that identifies and discusses one social issue that the country is dealing with.
(d) Have a subheading that identifies and discusses how this country’s verbal and (or)non-verbal communication is different from that of the United States.
(e) Reflective thinking- Have a subheading that discusses how this assignment helps develop cultural competence.
(f) Have a concluding paragraph.
(g) Let your paper follow the outline above, that is a –f.
Format
While given the instructions in a listed form, you must come up with a thesis statement, several body paragraphs, and a conclusion. The paper should be done in APA style, with in-text citations, and references at the end. You should not use less than five (5) sources. This is due in Week 10.
I will open Safe Assign so that you may drop your paper to check for plagiarism. Your allowable score is 15%-20%. If you do not drop the form into Safe Assign first, and then hand in a hard copy of the same paper, you will not be awarded a grade.
Grading
• Body of paper =80% – intro, body, conclusion, thesis statement, paragraphing, details, the coherency of ideas, language skills. You must cover all the areas that I asked for to score well.
• References = 20% – number of references, APA format. Each reference is worth points. How much you score for each is depended on how well you do the reference in APA style.
• This is not a reference, therefore, if you put this you will score a zero.

• This is an example of what the references should be. Note, I only have two here but you are required to have at least seven. As was pointed out in EN 121, your references page begins on its page.
