MLO 4: SECONDARY CULTURAL KNOWLEDGE
In addition to the Spanish language and Hispanic cultures, the student demonstrates a general knowledge of a sociocultural group other than a Hispanic one or mainstream American culture. The student develops a basic understanding of the ways of thinking (ideas, beliefs, attitudes, values, philosophies), the behavioral practices (patterns of social interactions) and the cultural products – both tangible and intangible (for example, art, history, literature, music) – of the second culture. There are two pathways by which this outcome can be fulfilled: The student completes at least one upper division course whose focus is a sociocultural group not reflected by a Hispanic culture. General areas to choose from are: literature, the social sciences (anthropology, geography, history, political systems), art history, music history and/or the second cultural group. With faculty approval, the student may opt for a more individual pathway, choosing to independently study, research and analyze the working components of the second culture
Students gain knowledge the contributes to out cultural identities through interaction with various socializing agents. Individuals like in the Unites States tend to identify themselves to various cultural and social groups, depending on their personal biographies.

hcom 322: Asian American Literature
|
Personally, I have learned a lot in this course, I was not expecting to actually enjoy this course because I'm not very interested in Asian American history but after taking this course and learning about the Asian American history, literature and culture I think it was more interested than what I thought.
In this course, I had to work with a group of 5 other students to create a power point presentation to reflect our knowledge of the movie or the the topic discussed in the classroom. It was very interesting to learn about a different culture and to work in a group where we used to divide the work and share our final work together. |
