This week we will be focusing on the topic that we have been working on which is Culture and
Society. You will be challenged to complete four activities stipulated for you to complete. I

to in depth read the lecture slides and do research for clarification on concepts and ideas that
appears unclear. I have provided you with a link that can be accessed with internet ONLY,
once you have accessed the link a folder with all activities that has been requested to be
completed by you. Hope this challenge helps in the progression of your understanding of this
topic…ENJOY

slides and textbook is of high importance as well as the internet preferably Google

answering the question based on America and England .

to why the answers to the True & False questions are stated as they have been given.
