INTERVIEW339

As the world continues to become more diverse and multicultural, you  will find yourself interacting with individuals who differ from you in  many significant ways.  This diversity brings with it many great  benefits but it can also impact communication and relationships in  unexpected ways.  Consider if you, as a professional in Human Services,  have to provide in-home services to a family that has recently  immigrated to the United States from another country.  How might this  diversity impact expectations, communication, and relationships of all  involved?  Could you gather some information related to their culture  prior to engaging with them? 

Purpose:   This  interview and paper project focuses on exploring and learning about  cultural differences in interpersonal relations and communication.  One  way to safely experience and identify differences is through  interviewing a person from a culture significantly different from your  own. 

Overview:  Students will conduct an interview with an individual who identifies as being of another culture. The  person interviewed must differ from you in at least two significant  ways (culture, religion, primary language, country of origin).  There  are two parts of this project:  the first being the interview, and the  second is academic research on aspects of your interviewee's culture.  Your  written explanation, description, and outside validation (through  references) will point out the differences you find between cultures.   

The paper must follow APA style, and will include a title page,  reference page, and running header.  No abstract is needed.  APA  standards include size 12 Times New Roman font, double-spaced and normal  margins.  You may use the following as guidelines for headers:

Introduction
Introduce your interviewee, how you know the person, and describe  the cultural differences and reason for choosing this person.  Include a  thesis statement explaining the research aspect of the assignment.   Clearly identify the part of the culture that you chose to explore.  
Interview
Write a narrative summary of the interview, where you paraphrase  the discussion and highlight what you've learned about the cultural  differences of the interviewee.  You may relate some of the interview to  course material.  
Related Research
This section will cover the research aspect of the assignment.   Explain why the topic interested you, and continue your discussion  using APA standards for in-text citing.  Remember to integrate what you  learned about your interviewee in with your research.  
Conclusion
A strong conclusion paragraph is expected to summarize and tie  together what you learned throughout the interview and research.

The Glass Castle Quotes About Abuse:

"I am your mother, and I should have a say in how you're raised" (Walls 26).

“Mom felt that Grandma Smith nagged and badgered, setting rules and punishments for breaking the rules. It drove Mom crazy, and it was the reason she never set rules for us” (Walls 21).

“Some parents worried that their kids might get hit by lightning, but Mom and Dad never did, and they let us go out and play in the warm, driving water. We splashed and sang and danced” (Walls 16).

“If you don't want to sink, you better figure out how to swim” (Walls 66).

“We had no pillows, but Dad said that was part of his plan. He was teaching us to have good posture. The Indians didn't use pillows, either, he explained, and look how straight they stood” (Walls 18). 

“‘It was the only thing to eat in our house,’ I said. Raising my voice, I added, ‘I was hungry’” (Walls 69).

“You’re not supposed to laugh at your own father, ever” (Walls 83). 

“He simply waited for me to fork over the cash, as if he knew I didn’t have it in me to say no” (Walls 209).

“She’d been reading books on how to cope with an alcoholic, and they said that drunks didn’t remember their rampages, so if you cleaned up after them, they’d think nothing had happened. ‘Your father needs to see the mess he’s making of our lives,’ Mom said. But when Dad got up, he’d act as if all the wreckage didn’t exist, and no one discussed it with him. The rest of us had to get used to stepping over broken furniture and shattered glass” (Walls 113).

“Unloved children grow up to be serial murderers or alcoholics” (Walls 83).

“At times I felt like I was failing Maureen, like I wasn’t keeping my promise that I’d protect her–the promise I’d made to her when I held her on the way home from the hospital after she’d been born. I couldn’t get her what she needed most–hot baths, a warm bed, steaming bowls of Cream of Wheat before school in the morning–but I tried to do little things” (Walls 206). 

"'Okay, kids' Dad said, 'the civilians are revolting. We better skeddadle'" (Walls 109). 

"When Dad went crazy, we all had our own ways of shutting down and closing off, and that was what we did that night" (Walls 115). 

"'Your father's the only one who can help himself,' Mom said. 'Only he knows how to fight his own demons'" (Walls 117). 

"Just remember," Mom said after examining the blisters, "what doesn't kill you will make you stronger."  "If that was true, I'd be Hercules by now," Lori said (Walls 179). 

"Being homeless is an adventure" (Walls 255). 

"We may not have insulation," Mom said as we all gathered around the stove, "but we have each other" (Walls 177). 

Essay Profile

Write an essay of 400 – 600 words about an intriguing person, place, or activity in your community. Choose one of the two following options: (1) a brief profile of an event, a place, or an activity observed once or twice (NO MARDI GRAS); or (2) a brief profile of an individual based on one or two interviews. (There are longer, more fully developed profiles, but these are based on several observational visits and interviews.) Observe your subject closely, and then present what you have learned in a way that both informs and engages readers. Two restrictions: you cannot choose to profile a family member or Mardi Gras.

Art Assignment

There are many examples of public sculpture in Santa Barbara.  Some of the most prominent and easily accessible are the sculpture/fountain Mentors (Aris Demetrios) on the SBCC West Campus, Three Triangles (Fletcher Benton) SBCC East Campus, on the ocean side of the bookstore, Intermezzo (Anthony Caro) at the side of La Arcada (between the rear entrance to the Santa Barbara Art Museum and the public library), and Up Ended (Clement Meadmore) on the UCSB campus, on the lawn east of North Hall.  For this assignment you are to study first-hand one of these sculptures.  Look at it carefully and analyze what you see and what you think about the work.   Write a 400 to 600 word paper that discusses the piece as public sculpture. Start with a description of the sculpture and it’s context (setting); discuss whether it does or doesn’t work with the surroundings; finish with your assessment of the sculpture’s cultural and aesthetic value.

This is an assignment based on your own observation, not on Internet research; do not write about the history of the sculpture, do not include what other people have said, write only about what you see and what you think.  You do not need to send an image if your subject is one of the sculptures listed above. If you don’t live in the Santa Barbara area then there is likely to be public sculpture where you live.  Write about that, but I would appreciate a photograph or sketch of the piece submitted electronically by email if you can’t get it into the Submission tool.

To help you write this, use what you’ve learned so far and ask questions of the piece.  What is the theme (decipher the iconography)?  What is the form and content?  Is it representational, abstract, or non-objective?  Go through chapters 1-2 and find other terms and ideas that will help you come to an opinion about the piece as public sculpture.
