Connecting Intercultural Communication

Directions: Your assignment is to conduct some research to identify 3 major events that took place during the month/year and in the country in which you were born.  The idea is for you to conduct some research into the culture that existed during this time period.  You are to examine major news events, sports results, entertainment events, great inventions, as well as other culturally specific material (popular music. TV shows, fashion, technology . . .) that contributed to the aura of this time in history.  I am looking for you to identify 3 major events/items that occurred or existed (other then your birth) that were culturally significant during the year and in the place (culture) of your birth. The purpose of this assignment is to gain some insight into the culture you were born into, which has had some influence on the person you are today
