A major catastrophe has almost completely devastated the infrastructure of your country. The emergency government has decided that the surviving citizens will be best served if they are evacuated to other countries willing to take refugees. You and your immediate family are among the survivors of this catastrophic event. However, you have absolutely no input into the final destination or in any other evacuation details. You are told that your host country’s culture is completely different from your own, and that you might have to stay there permanently. You are further told that, in addition to one change of clothes, you can only take 3 small items with you. You decide to take three items that you hold dear and that represent your family culture.
- A description of the three items you would choose
- The three I items I would choose would be my family portrait, my rings from my grandfather's sister, and my bible.
- How you would explain to others what each of these items means to you
- These items mean a lot to me because my family is how I became the person I am today and I will never forget that. My rings from my grandfather's sister are important to me because I never met her and it's great to have a piece of my family history that I hold to my heart. My bible means a lot to me because my family always taught me the importance of keeping my faith in God and knowledgeable of his word.
- Your feelings if, upon arrival, you were told that you could only keep one personal item and have to give up the other two items you brought with you
- I would be really upset if I was told that I could keep only one item because all 3 items mean a lot to me.
- Any insights you gained about yourself, your family culture, diversity, and/or cultural differences in general, as a result of this exercise,
- As a result of this exercise I found it interesting. I will admit it is very challenging because I have a lot of things that are very important to me and only picking 3 items is a challenge.
