Cultural artifact

experience. While each group judges the other, open judgement never happens as we are together so often. As could be assumed from a group of high school aged kids, we tend to be quite cliquish. Regular college students in our hall have said that we don 't seem very accepting of outsiders. I would like to say that isn 't true, but as a culture we are very non inclusive and judgemental of outsiders. When anyone in the original group does make new friends there is almost an adoption process that takes place. Nobody can really reach out to other social circles without being excluded from the original ten. There is reinforcement of this exclusionary aspect of our group through the structure of our program. This brings me to the first cultural artifact: our weekly Belin-Blank Center Seminar. Every week we meet with Jan Warren to discuss our experience in college and also do things involving the Academy. Jan is the Assistant Director of Student Services for the Belin-Blank Center, but also acts as the leader of the Bucksbaum Academy. These weekly meetings are supposed to bring us together as a group and allow us to reflect upon our distinct situation. The general consensus in the group, along with my own belief, is that these meetings are almost a waste of time. There is no curriculum to teach and the meetings range from formulating a mission statement to a 50-minute talk on why alcohol is bad. The actual meaning is to bring us together as a group and help guide us to…

The artifact I chose was a speech that we prepared for for about two weeks and then delivered using only note cards, visual aids, and our memory. I had to have oral citations that gave credibility to the author throughout our speech and had a time limit of five to eight minutes. The point of the speech was to keep my audience entertained and deliver a lot of information on a topic that was interesting and applicable to the audience and me. I was also the “expert on the topic”. I chose this…

Today I brought in my running shoes that I had for a while and even though it may seem like just any regular pair of shoes they mean a lot to me because of what I gone through with them. You see, I wore these shoes when I was doing PE 3, which was a weightlifting class and they have been in my life through hard times…

My cultural artifact is a painting made by my uncle here at Fresno State over 20 years ago. Since I was a little girl I’ve always loved my uncles paintings but this one has just always been a little more special to me. Before this assignment I had never known or asked him his inspiration behind the painting or it’s meaning, but it never stopped me from having my own meaning for it. To me this painting represented my very young grandma in Colima Mexico, cooking, hand made tortillas for her…
