Introduction
The calling of the humanities is to make us truly human in the best sense of the word.
–J. Irwin Miller, Industrialist
What makes humans human? Part of the answer lies in the very different ways we express ourselves and our experiences (through art, architecture, music, religion, literature, and more). With over 7.6 billion people on planet Earth, understanding how those expressions connect and distinguish us from one another is a critical part of becoming better citizens of the world (U.S. Census Bureau, n.d.).
Just a few generations ago, the odds of people interacting from completely different backgrounds or communities were small. But in today’s digital world, we have instant access to communities and cultures unlike our own. As we all come together to live, work, and share experiences, it is becoming even more important that we understand our perspectives and the perspectives of others so that we can all collaborate when facing complex issues.
In this course, you’ll explore how different cultures and groups demonstrate their unique perspectives on what it means to be human. As you do, you’ll discover how broadening your perspective will help you better collaborate with others and solve problems in today’s global world. Overall, you'll develop three skills that will help you adapt to a global world. They are:
- Problem-solving: As you examine the art, literature, and music of other cultures, you’ll use critical thinking to frame problems, explain other people’s viewpoints, and create solutions informed by diverse and ethical perspectives.
- Relationship building: While learning about cultures across different time periods, you will discover that even the earliest humans understood the importance of working with others.
- Self-awareness and social awareness: Recognizing your thoughts, emotions, and intentions is a uniquely human trait, which is why it is fundamental to the study of humanities. By managing your responses to unfamiliar experiences and being open to new perspectives, you will better understand the people you encounter in your personal and professional life.
As you use these skills together, you’ll become better equipped to build collaborative relationships and solve diverse problems in a global workplace. You’ll also gain the awareness you need to recognize how social and cultural differences may impact the ways you interact with others.
In this assessment, you’ll learn more about the benefits of studying humanities and discover how you can strengthen your problem-solving, relationship-building, and self- and social-awareness skills in this course and beyond.
If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.
–Wayne Dyer, author, and motivational speaker
Tacos or lasagna. Sushi or curry. Pickles or kimchi. The foods we were exposed to as kids—by our families, communities, religions, and geographical locations—shape our preferences as adults. And it’s not just about food. Our backgrounds influence the perspectives we have on music, literature, television, art, and more. By acknowledging this influence, we become better able to consider how the perspectives of others with different cultural backgrounds might also differ from our own.
In this assessment, you will also strengthen your problem-solving and self- and social-awareness skills by exploring strategies that will help you examine artifacts from other cultures more objectively. Being able to recognize how perspectives affect the way we see the world will also help you better understand other points of view so you can tackle the challenges you face at home, work, and school and make the best decisions for your future.
Changing your perspectives will not only transform you but also the whole world.
–Ji-Hae Park, violinist
Who was your favorite musician when you were a child? Are you still a fan of that artist today? You may still be an avid admirer, or you may cringe at the music you used to love. Either way, your perspective of that artist has probably changed over time. Your perspectives on music, art, culture, and more are constantly evolving as you grow, meet new people, have new experiences, travel, and learn more about the world around you.
Lastly, in this assessment, you will also continue to strengthen your problem-solving skills as you examine the personal and cultural experiences that influence the choices you make. You’ll also hone your self- and social-awareness skills by learning how to manage your reactions to things that may initially surprise you. As you explore more about your perspectives and how they are influenced by your experiences, you’ll be better able to consider new perspectives, look at cultural artifacts objectively, and navigate through difficult issues at work or with friends.
Now get ready to explore other cultures, broaden your perspective, and discover what makes humans human.

Overview
Throughout the assessments in this course, you will have opportunities to analyze cultural artifacts and/or works of art. A cultural artifact is something created by human beings reflective of their society, such as an article of clothing or ancient pottery. A work of art refers to something created by an artist (amateur or professional), such as a painting, sculpture, film, poem, or photograph. You are encouraged to choose something meaningful to you. You can select cultural artifacts or works of art of interest to you in general. The optional text for this course, Exploring Cultures, also has many works of art and artifacts that you may select.
For this assessment, you will write a 2–3 page paper that analyzes your artifact using the strategies you've learned in this course. By using these strategies, you’ll:
- Practice your problem-solving and self/social-awareness skills as you consider how your personal experiences and perspective influence your analysis of artifacts that illustrate diverse and ethical perspectives.
- Be better equipped with information to help you make more objective and informed decisions.
- Solve complex problems and think through situations related to diversity and ethics.
As you follow these steps to analyze a cultural artifact or work of art, you are actively practicing the process of thinking through a problem and breaking it down into its parts. Additionally, self-awareness, social awareness, and articulation are critical in navigating the workplace and working with others, whether at work or home. This assessment will leverage what you have learned about the human experience to help you understand what perspectives you hold and how they affect the decisions you make.
Instructions
For this assessment, first, choose a cultural artifact or work of art, and then, in 2–3 pages of writing, analyze it using the strategies you've learned from the provided resources.
- Start by writing an introductory paragraph that describes which artifact you chose.
- Provide a brief description of the artifact itself, including identifying details such as the type of artifact, the artist or musician, when it was created, and the materials used.
- Explain why you chose this artifact. In other words, what about the artifact appeals to you?
- Describe the historical and artistic contexts of the artifact or work of art.
- Describe the historical context, such as the time period, the place, and the reasons the artist might have had for creating the artifact.
- Describe the artistic context, such as the visual and aural techniques and symbols. Include reasons that explain why these techniques were used.
- Consider how the artistic context was shaped by the historical context at the time the artifact was created.
- Explain the cultural values conveyed through the artifact or work of art.
- Identify two cultural values that you believe the artist was trying to convey through the artifact or work of art.
- Explain how these cultural values are portrayed, reflected, or demonstrated in the artifact.
- For example, how might an anti-war song from the late 1960s or early 1970s portray or reflect American culture at that time? Similarly, how might a French Impressionist painting reflect beliefs about modern life in the second half of the 19th century?
- Reflect on the way culture shapes your perspective and impacts the decisions you make about the meaning of the cultural artifact or work of art.
- Relate the artist's cultural values to your own. Examine the similarities or differences that you see between your cultural values and the artist's cultural values.
- Explain how your cultural perspective shaped your response and connection with the artifact or work of art.
- Write in a well-organized and concise manner that adheres to the rules of grammar, usage, mechanics, citations, and formatting.

Introduction
Look at situations from all angles, and you will become more open.
–Dalai Lama, spiritual leader
Have you ever had a problem, such as a leaky faucet, an issue with a family member, or a school assignment, that you just couldn’t solve? You might have tried and tried to come up with an answer, growing more frustrated as time went on. Perhaps, you then asked someone else for help, and they immediately came up with the perfect solution. Baffled, you may have thought to yourself, “How did they do that?” The answer is often that the other person simply looked at the problem differently. And many times, a different point of view is exactly what you need to find a solution.
In this assessment, you will further develop your problem-solving skills by exploring how different people and cultures approach making decisions and resolving conflicts. By looking at a single problem from multiple perspectives, you will find more creative solutions to complex issues at home, school, and work. You will also continue to improve your self- and social-awareness skills as you explore how your perspective may be biased and how that bias affects the way you process information.
Most of my important lessons about life have come from recognizing how others from a different culture view things.
–Edgar H. Schein, organizational psychologist
If you’ve ever wondered why people from different cultures think and do things differently than you, here’s your chance to satisfy your curiosity about customs, traditions, religious beliefs, and more. While you work through this assessment, you’ll strengthen your problem-solving and self- and social-awareness skills by exploring cultural similarities and differences, which will allow you to understand where other people are coming from. Exploring and thinking critically about how friends, peers, colleagues, and even strangers from different backgrounds view the world can make you more empathetic and understanding. And applying this empathy and understanding will ultimately help you build the successful, collaborative relationships that are critical to your personal and professional success. You’ll continue to cultivate your problem-solving skills as you compare and contrast cultures around the world and develop critical thinking strategies to understand the perspectives and behaviors of others. You’ll also strengthen your self- and social-awareness skills by exploring how your personal and cultural experiences influence your opinions and choices.
The universe is made of stories, not atoms.
–Muriel Rukeyser, poet
Storytelling transcends all cultures, time periods, and geographic regions. That’s why the ancient Greeks built huge amphitheaters and why you find yourself saying “Just one more episode!” as you devour the new season of your favorite TV show. So it’s not surprising that understanding the stories we tell is a critical part of the study of humanities.
In all of this, you will further develop your problem-solving skills by exploring stories from different cultures. By learning about common storytelling themes and values (and their differences and similarities), you will discover more ways to think critically about perspectives.

Overview
This assessment will look more closely at the means of expression.
There is a tradition of artistic interpretation that stresses expression as the main goal of artworks. Whether it’s a painting, a film, a novel, a play, music, or a piece of sculpture, artwork can give expression to ideas and emotions that can be difficult to express in ordinary words. We’ve seen that artworks convey aspects of culture and family tradition. But they can also express and communicate religious ideas and feelings, or political struggles. And a work of art can express the personal experiences and inner life of the artist who created it. A work of art can do all of this in a way that connects the viewer or audience to the artist. Some see this type of connection as the closest we can get to experiencing the inner life of another person.
For example, to get an idea of the means artworks have available for expression, consider how a representational painting conveys much more than what’s directly represented (for example, a human figure or mountainscape). A painter can use color, line, shading, and composition (arrangement of forms) to express ideas and emotions about what’s depicted in the painting.
For this assessment, first, choose an artwork to analyze as a means of expression. You should choose an artwork different from the one you selected for Assessment 1. You may select an artwork of your preference or any artwork from the Exploring Cultures text. Remember, a work of art can take a variety of forms, include a painting, a poem, a film, a piece of music, a story, or a sculpture.
Instructions
Once you select your work of art, write 2–3 pages in which you complete the following:
- Describe what is depicted in the selected work of art.
- Identify the artist (or artists), when the art was created or published, and the form the art takes (music, painting, short story, etc.).
- If the work depicts a subject or event (like representational paintings, sculptures, stories, or films do), describe what is depicted.
- If the artwork is nonrepresentational (like an abstract painting or sculpture, music, or architecture), you can simply say that it is nonrepresentational.
- Explain two or three things that the artwork expresses, beyond whatever is directly depicted in the work.
- Focus on your own reaction to and interpretation of the artwork.
- What ideas, moods, emotions, hopes, aspirations, or states of mind do you think the artist is trying to express? If the artwork is representational, perhaps the artist is expressing certain feelings about what’s depicted (such as grief, anger, or joy). If the artwork is nonrepresentational, describe the feelings or memories the piece evokes.
- Describe at least three features of the work that have expressive power.
- Here you can focus on qualities specific to the selected art (color, line, shape, composition, light and shading, sound, and so forth). These are the aspects of the work that do the job of communicating to the viewer or listener something that can't easily be expressed in ordinary language.
- Explain how your cultural perspective shapes your interpretation of the art.
- Describe any cultural biases that may influence this explanation.
- Write in a well-organized and concise manner that adheres to the rules of grammar, usage, mechanics, citations, and formatting.
Additional Requirements
Your submission should meet the following requirements:
- Length: 2–3 pages of text, in addition to a title page and reference page.
- Written communication: Written communication should be free of errors that detract from the overall message.
- Formatting: Format your submission in APA style, with a title page, double spacing, and a reference page.
- Citations: You will need to use at least one source to identify the author and date of creation or publication. For example, if you are using artwork from the suggested textbook (Exploring Cultures), then that should be cited. Citing additional sources is not necessary or required. Properly cite sources according to APA rules. Review Evidence and APA for more information on how to cite your sources.
Competencies Measured
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and scoring guide criteria:
- Competency 1: Analyze personal cultural bias.

- Competency 3: Analyze cultural differences and similarities of people globally.
- Explain two or three things that the artwork expresses.
- Competency 4: Analyze the role of culture and artistic expression in human thought and behavior.

Introduction
Other people's ideas are often better than your own. Find a group of people who challenge and inspire you, spend a lot of time with them, and it will change your life.
–Amy Poehler, actress, comedian, and writer
Much of Amy Poehler’s work, including her time on Saturday Night Live and Parks and Recreation, involved her closely collaborating with a team. Just like Amy, working with others who have different perspectives and talents can not only help you successfully meet your goals, it can also inspire you (and others) to work in new ways.
In this assessment, you will continue to strengthen your relationship-building skills as you explore how artists work together to change people’s perspectives and how you can use those same strategies to inspire change in your personal and professional life. Exploring these strategies will also help you hone your self- and social-awareness skills. That’s because, to work with teams effectively, you need to consider how others are feeling and how you can encourage them to do their best work. When your team members are doing their best, you’ll find that you do your best, too.
Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships.
–Michael Jordan, former professional basketball player
“It’s easier if I just do it myself.” That thought has probably crossed your mind at some point in your life or career. It might happen when you’re working alone on a challenging task, you feel like explaining your process or asking for help will only make more work for you. In some situations, it may truly be easier to go at it alone. But more often, there is a tremendous benefit to working with others, especially when those people have different perspectives from yours.
During this assessment, you will also strengthen your relationship-building skills by exploring how artists collaborate with others to grow their abilities and how you can also work constructively with other people to achieve great things in your personal and professional life. As you collaborate with friends, peers, and colleagues, you will continue to strengthen your self- and social-awareness skills by learning to grow from feedback.

Introduction
You can’t live through a day without making an impact on the world. And what’s most important is to think about the impact of your actions on the world around you.
–Jane Goodall, primatologist and anthropologist
Think for a moment and try to remember the last time that a piece of art—a book, a movie, a song, a painting, or any other work—made you cry. Perhaps they were tears of joy. Or maybe you were sad because a certain lyric reminded you of a painful moment from your past, or because you could relate to a character’s struggles. In any case, the art made an impact on your life, just as it was designed to do. Understanding the positive and negative impacts we can have on others through art and other artifacts is a critical part of working together successfully.
In this assessment, you will continue to strengthen your self- and social-awareness skills and relationship-building skills as you explore how the humanities can be used to impact others, why it’s important to reflect on that impact, and how understanding your impact can help you collaborate with your co-workers and peers.
What you see depends not only on what you look at but also on where you look from.
–James Deacon, artist
Through this course, you have studied what it means to be human. And you’ve explored the unique ways people all over the world express themselves and their different perspectives through art, culture, music, religion, literature, and more. Along the way, you’ve also learned how important it is to broaden your own perspective, so you can think and act appropriately in different cultural environments and better collaborate and solve problems with peers, colleagues, and coworkers whose experiences and perspectives are different from your own.
In this assessment, you’ll look back at all you’ve learned so far and discover how these same concepts and skills will allow you to continue to broaden your perspective, collaborate with others, and solve problems as you encounter new cultures and ideas outside of the classroom.
Many of humanity’s finest achievements—such as the International Space Station, the Allied victories in the Second World War, and the founding of the United Nations—were made possible by people of different cultures coming together to pursue a shared goal. In fact, history shows us that when diverse groups collaborate, they are likely to achieve more than groups that are less diverse (Page, 2008). With this in mind, you'll continue to strengthen your relationship-building skills by exploring how nations and cultures have collaborated throughout history. And you’ll consider how collaboration can help you to achieve success in your own workplace and community.
