    On a blank piece of paper, begin listing all the co-cultures to which you belong. How many can you come up with? How do they overlap? If someone asked you to identify yourself by using only one of them, could you do it? Could you rank them in order of importance to you?

    Make a list of all the places where you have lived or traveled. (Remember, this does not just mean “travel to foreign countries.” Think about trips to other neighborhoods in your city or areas of your state.) Create a bullet-point list to describe the attitudes, customs, and behaviors of each place that seemed to typify the area. How was communication different in each area? How was it similar?

    Many popular films in the United States are based on foreign language films from other cultures, such as The Departed (2006, based on the Hong Kong film Infernal Affairs, 2002), The Tourist (2010, based on the French film Anthony Zimmer, 2005), and Let Me In (2010, based on Sweden’s Let the Right One In, 2008). Watch one such film, as well as the original foreign language film that inspired it. What cultural changes to the story can you detect? How do the nonverbal behaviors of the actors differ?
