WORLD CULTURES: NEW CULTURAL CHARACTERISTIC TO BE STUDIED

Hello World Cultures students,

Remember that some of you have yet to report on Personal Relationships in Middle Eastern countries. Try to see if you can find specific information on "Haptics" within those countries, which is the proper term for the study of human touch during communication. You can also look up info on their human communication customs themselves.

For tomorrow, bring in information on the Visual Arts, Architecture, Music, Dance, etc. I would also love it if we had the opportunity to appreciate a little bit of the film industry of this area, which is growing and also quite fascinating. Remember to bring audio and/or visual examples of your information.

See you tomorrow,
Ms. Dimas

- The rivers around which each civilization established themsleves

- Environmental challenges some civilizations faced and how they coped with them (for example, irrigation ditches in Mesopotamia and building mud walls around the cities to protect the houses from disastrous floods in China)

- The geographical barriers some civilizations had (like mountains or deserts and you should know which civilization is surrounded by what, this is particularly the case of two civilizations, use your maps)

If you have any additional questions, feel free to write me,
