  • Think about your own dominant culture. What does it mean to be a member of your national culture? What is the established language, religion, behavior, values, rituals, and social customs within your society?
  • Make a list of five co-cultural groups to whom you currently belong. How does each of these different co-cultural groups influence who you are as a person?
  • Many organizations are known for creating, or attempting to create, very specific microcultures. Thinking about your college, university, or workplace, how would you explain your microculture to someone unfamiliar with your culture?
