Analysis (2 to 3 pages): This is the main part of your paper. Make sure this section is very well-developed, well-organized, and well-written since your grade depends mainly on your sociological analysis of the culture shock experience.Analyze the culture shock experience you identified using at least five key terms learned from previous modules. For each key term, you will need to provide examples of the culture shock experience in order to illustrate that you can use the course material to reach a greater depth of understanding. You must go beyond just describing the culture shock experience. Key terms must be bolded or underlined in your paper, or they will not be counted in the quota. In addition, examine the outcomes of the culture shock. What was the person’s/character(s) reaction to the experience? Were they ethnocentric or culturally relativistic, and how? Also, why do you think they were ethnocentric or culturally relativistic? *Be sure to apply your sociological imagination when responding to these questions. Include specific examples or illustrations.III. Conclusion (1/2 -1 page): Include an engaging and stimulating conclusion paragraph that summarizes your paper. Demonstrate evidence that you can make connections between all of the main ideas.The paper should be logically organized in well-constructed paragraphs/sentences, have relevant content, and be easily understood.
