Overview
I need two separate doc first one for Lesson 2 - Cultural Plunge Part 1 and another doc for Lesson 3 - Cultural Plunge Part 2
plunge 1 The work for culturally responsive practices starts with you. This will be a two-part assignment, you will start this assignment in Module two, and you will finalize this assignment in Module three with a presentation. In this assignment, you are to engage in a cultural immersion experience that will provide individual exposure to persons or groups markedly different in ethnicity/culture/lifestyle from your own.
The focus of this activity is to provide you with an understanding of self-reflection as it relates to personal biases with opportunities to gain new insight into other cultures, what it feels like to be in an environment where you are culturally different and to reflect upon your own reactions, observances, and biases. The cultural plunge should include the conditions specified in the assignment document.
View this Ted Talk video below "Recognize Your Own Implicit Bias to be Inclusive." While viewing the video, identify which of these traits you possess and what biases you may have related to groups that are different from you. This activity will provide you with a memorable experience with a person(s) who is different from you (age, religion, gender, socioeconomic, culture, nationality, etc.) so that you reflect and learn more about yourself and your implicit biases.
After watching the video, Do your research, and Challenge yourself to learn about different cultural experiences. Explore specific cultures, religions, languages, etc., that intrigue you, and make a list of things you would like to learn about them, history, norms, cuisine, holidays, celebrations, etc. Use sites to study different cultures. This will be the first part of the cultural immersion experience. you view the video, start to think about some experiences that might have shaped your perceptions of others. Our unconscious bias emerges from our lived experiences; thus, the next step in awareness is to think of ways to challenge some of your assumptions deliberately.
This two-part assignment will unpack individual implicit biases that have been shaped by a need for the familiar. It is normal to want to be with people with the same background, experience, or personal traits; it makes us comfortable, and we feel safe. However, on the flip side, we avoid people who are unfamiliar or different in any way—effectively "other" -ing them, and many times, we are unaware this is what we’re doing. Bias itself isn’t always negative it serves as a useful survival mechanism that helps us filter information.
This assignment will be taking you out of your “comfort zone” so that you can identify biases that you have and are not aware of.
- Research, i.e., websites literature or interview For the second plunge this is what you need to do for the video I will do it just prodive me the answers and the photo of the thing you choose

The cultural plunge should include the conditions specified in the assignment document.InstructionsIn part one of the assignment, you completed a brief report with a rationale and how you would proceed with the cultural plunge. You should have completed two hours of observations where you were immersed in a setting with persons or groups markedly different from you in ethnicity/culture/lifestyle.In this assignment, you will record yourself answering the following prompts. This video will provide you an opportunity for reflection containing a 3-4 minute response to the experience.

- What was the setting you selected, and why did you choose this setting?
- What did you learn about yourself that surprised you? "Emotionally and Intelligently"
- What implicit biases were revealed to you after your exposure to the cultural plunge? How will this help you teach others tolerance?
