Culture: Not bought, sold, or passed out

To complete this assignment successfully, you should:

  1. Study the assignment carefully
  2. Post your response in your Portfolio space in the VCC.


"Culture is not bought, sold, or passed out."

Look at the statement above. What does it refer to? This clearly depends on how one views the concept of culture. For example, a billionaire who has received no formal education (no college degrees) decides to donate 10 million dollars to NAU. The President of NAU in return decides to bestow him with an honorary doctorate during graduation ceremonies. He can officially be called "doctor" so and so, and he has his "diploma" posted on the wall to prove it.

There are other examples. Give an example. Post your response your Portfolio space in the VCC. Remember to reference the assignment in the beginning of your response, for example, "Culture, not bought, sold or passed out."


Once you have completed this assignment you should:
