More Perfect Union Speech. Watch the video of
President Obama’s March 18, 2008, speech at the
Constitution Center in Philadelphia regarding the
role race played in the 2008 presidential
campaign. This speech, sometimes dubbed the
“More Perfect Union” speech, can be found in
several locations on the Web. Two suggested
locations are provided below.
After viewing and reading the speech, write a two-
to three-page paper in which you respond to the
following questions:
2. 1. President Obama chronicles the resentments of
blacks and whites and states, “Just as black anger
often proved counterproductive, so have these
white resentments distracted attention from the
real culprits of the middle class squeeze....”
(Obama, 2008, para. 36.) Do you think the
resentments of each subgroup are valid? Why or
why not? Do you agree with his statement that the
anger and resentments are counterproductive?
Why or why not?
2. In the speech, President Obama quotes William
Faulkner, “The past isn’t dead and buried; in fact, it
isn’t even past.” (Obama, 2008, para. 27.) What do
you think this statement means, and what
implications does it have for race relations in the
United States?
3. Do you believe a trans-racial society is desirable
and possible in the United States? In your opinion,
what changes would have to take place in our
culture and/or our communications with one
another for this societal change to take place?
The paper must be two to three pages in length
and formatted according to APA style. You must
use at least two scholarly sources, the video, and
the course text to support your claims. Cite your
3. resources in text and on the reference page. For
information regarding APA samples and tutorials,
visit the Ashford Writing Center, within the
Learning Resources tab on the left navigation
toolbar, in your online course.

Focus of the Final Paper
Throughout the course, you will be exploring
various aspects of culture and intercultural
communications. Your final assignment in this
course will be to conduct an extensive oral history
interview with a person who is somewhat older
than
you and from a culture or subgroup that you are
not a member. This person can be a relative or
acquaintance who is from a different generation.
It can be someone who immigrated to this country
either recently or some time ago. Or, it can be
someone who belongs to a different subgroup
15. from you and whose cultural experiences you
believe would be very different from your own.
Obtain permission from the person you are
interviewing to record the conversation (either an
audio or a video and audio recording) or to take
handwritten notes during the interview.
Your overarching goals during the oral history
interview are as follows:
To learn more about the culture and subcultures
to which your interview subject belongs.
To determine what issues they encountered in
terms of intercultural communications.
To relate concepts you have studied in this course
to the experiences of this person.
After you have conducted the interview, review
your recording or your notes and write a six- to
eight-page paper (excluding a title page and a
reference page), in which you discuss aspects of
this person’s culture and/or subcultures and
communication issues related to his or her
cultural identity. In the paper, you must also
include the following:
16. The name of the person and his or her relationship
to you.
The interview subject’s cultural background and
the culture and/or subcultures to which he or she
belongs.
At least six questions from the following list. You
may add additional questions or other questions
not on this list,
Remember, though, that the focus of your paper
must be on intercultural communication issues.
How far back in time can the person remember?
What is his or her first childhood memory?
(Consider how it reflects the interview subject’s
culture or subculture?)
What does the person remember of the experience
of being an immigrant or a subgroup member in
that time?
Which impressions or experiences from that time
are most vivid to him or her today?
If he or she immigrated to this country, what was
the country of origin like in terms of geography,
government, transportation, economic system, and
education system? If he or she were raised in this
17. country, what were these aspects of life like during
childhood?
What does the person recall of the communication
with members of the dominant culture? What
barriers to effective communication did he or she
encounter?
In the United States today, what is different about
his or her life in terms of language, religion, family
customs, diet, recreation, and work, as compared
to childhood?
What role did the news media play in the
interview subject’s life and in supporting or
contesting the interview subject’s views of his or
her culture? How did the media influence his or
her individual beliefs and opinions about males
and females, masculinity and femininity, and other
aspects of gender belief systems and views about
race and ethnicity? (Cite specific examples he or
she gives you regarding these two specific issues.)
If your interview subject spoke a different native
language, ask him or her to discuss differences
between that language and English. (Consider the
Sapir-Whorf hypothesis.)
18. What are some of the most significant differences
in day-to-day life in the past versus today?
4. From this interview, what can you conclude
about important values in your interview subject’s
early life?
