what did you learn from their response?

1 List the words you chose. ( I chose the words  freedom , atheist and preacher )

2 What did you learn from their responses? How are the response alike and different? Are their responses gender based? Explain.

3 Then, evaluate how their responses might differ from those held by people of other cultural groups. Interrogate the concept that meanings are in people and not in words from an intercultural perspective.

4 Lastly, what did you learn from this assignment about language?  How can one avoid misunderstandings when trying to build or establish relationships?

Select 3-4 terms below and interview at least three (3) of your peers. Ask each of them to define each of the terms you have selected in their own words. Then ask each of them to use each word in a complete, “illustrative” sentence (in an effort to characterize the meaning). By “illustrative” we mean a definition that vividly illustrates or characterizes to students what these terms mean. For example, for the word “teenager” someone might write: “Someone who doesn’t listen to their parents, doesn’t trust anyone over thirty, and believes s/he is invincible.”
