The book discusses the influence that culture has on our speaking style. What is one aspect of your culture that impacts your speaking style? What feedback have you received about your speaking style from people you consider to share your culture and from people you consider outside your culture?
What will be an ideal response?
Students should use what has been outlined in the textbook as a guideline for identifying their style. The aspects of culture they should choose from include those listed in the book: nationality, race, ethnicity, religion, work environment, peer group, sex or gender. They should list at least one of these aspects, but may list more than one (i.e. Asian, Catholic, female). Examples do not have to be long and involved, but should reflect their understanding of how culture impacts their communication.
