MLO 4: SECONDARY CULTURAL KNOWLEDGE
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.
The course I took to fulfill this requirement was JANP 305.The course focus on the culture and civilization of Japan. The way this course helped me complete this requirement was because it thought us about the Japanese culture, religion and traditions that the people practice during in Japan and till this day many of the Japanese people still practice. Unfortunately, due to an epidemic that affected the whole world. Class had to be taking virtually but this did not stop me from trying by best and trying to learn the most of could from this country. The traditions they have are very different to what I am used to seeing in the United States and I liked that because I got to learn about new things and was able to see a different world than what I am used to. I liked it because if it was not for this course, I would not have had known about all of these. I am thankful that out University makes us do this because I would be one of those students that would not take the adventure of exploring new horizons. Now because of this course I know a lot more of what I knew about Japan and the culture it is surrounded by.
