Q Overview For this assignment, you will work on items that belong to the humanities and explore the cultures they represent. You will also evaluate “big questions” that can be associated with the humanities and determine how you can go about answering them. Prompt Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria: 1. List three cultures or subcultures you identify strongly with, and rank them from most to least significant in your life. These can be national, ethnic, religious, and they can include subcultures or groups related to your personal interests. 2. Identify one representative object from the humanities for each of the cultures or subcultures you identify with. 3. In a few words, explain how the cultural object reflects the culture in which it exists. Consider which aspects of culture have relevance for each object: politics, history, religion, social perceptions, technology, media, education, and so on. Guidelines for Submission Your submission should be a Word document, one to two pages in length, with 12-point Times New Roman font, double spacing, and one-inch margins.

Three cultures that I identify with would be Christianity, the American-metal community, and millennials. I believe that would be the order of importance as well. Growing up the son of a pastor made me skeptical about religion. It was something I had to find on my own. After I rediscovered my faith, I had to accept that what the world views as the Christian culture is skewed. Therefore, it is probably the most important one for me. The American-metal scene was such a large part of my life. Being a drummer who has worked on several projects is the reason that I identify with this sub-culture in a big way.
