Most of what we think of culture is based in what bind us into groups of people. What we will primarily learn about is the cultural differences between us, the american culture, and the rest of the world, specifically China and the Islamic Middle East. When we think of these places culturally we think of the mainly food and relations with the United States. In terms of China we think of manufacturing and trade. In the Middle east us, as Americans, often think of armed conflict. We often neglect the other aspects of their culture such as music and how they govern. I expect to learn a great deal about these cultures in this course.
