MLO 4: Secondary Culture Other than Hispanic Cultures

4.2 Students will analyze and make connections between the perspectives, ways of thinking, behavioral practices, and cultural products of a second culture other than Hispanic cultures.
Courses taken: JAPN 311
In order to satisfy the secondary culture requirement I took the course JAPN 311 which was lectured by Dr. Dustin Wright. In this course I was able to connect what I had learned in my SPAN 330 class about those who are voiceless and marginalized. This course focused on the social problems in Japan, I learned a new word precarity and it is a situation in which many are in Japan due to the consequences of war. Till this day Japan has many social problems just as those in Hispanic countries. I really enjoyed the readings they gave a more historical context and the documentaries and guest speakers helped me understand Japanese culture. At the end of the semester we had to do a research paper and I was touched by the abuse that many children go through in Japan. Please take a look at my research presentation here titled Precarious Children: Child Abuse in Japan. In addition, this course also helped me satisfy my GWAR requirement.
