Culture Project: Imaginary Travel to Indonesia.
Thornhill, Harold, Jr.
When U.S. citizens travel to Indonesia, it is hard for the majority of them to understand the country's culture and people. This project outlines some of the major fallacies individuals have when in Indonesia, and how they can avoid them by studying ahead of time. The project begins by requiring the individuals to plan their trip properly, know the Indonesian currency and where to obtain a passport. There are 12 questions pertaining to Indonesia's geographical, religious, political, and social make-up. Participants are asked to identify and understand Indonesia's customs such as food, family structure, music, and the country's motto. Additional learning activities include brief questions on Indonesia's history, researching three important current events, and locating significant places on a map of Indonesia and places of relative importance. A bonus exercise concludes the project and asks individuals to create a poster that includes the people, land, and life in Indonesia. These activities offer a traveler to Indonesia pertinent information to help them as they make their journey through the country. (JAG)
