Culture by: Bryan

Is it really necessary to learn about these cultural identifiers and culture? While most of us in this class will move on in life without using any of this information. The only career path that possibly could involve this would be in arts or in English. When it comes to culture of other people, it should be an option to learn about it, not mandatory. If you follow a career path that doesn't involve knowing other cultures, pick up a newspaper, or possibly watch the news. Reading The Kite Runner and watching Babies was very entertaining, but very pointless to the future I see myself pursuing along with the future of most of the people in this class. In summation, I believe, although it is a different way to teach us the basics of English,  it is unnecessary and not needed in our curriculum.
