Major Cultural Influences Dress Code and Respect Presentation
You are the first chief diversity officer at a Fortune 100 company. To help employees understand cross-cultural diversity and the value of diversity in the workplace, you are assigned to create a presentation on the cultural influences in your life. Include pictures to show how social practice and the culture you grew up in helped shape you.
Think about the person you are now. Think of all the cultural influences that may have impinged on you. Some examples include your parents, your parental milieu, your ethnic group, your religion, the areas or countries you lived in, your gender, the schools you went to, the schools’ ideology, and your peers and their backgrounds.

- (1 slide) Introduction
- (4–6 slides) Describes the major cultural influences on your life
- (3–5 slides) Explains the impact of cultural influences on you and your way of being (make sure you don’t focus on individual influences)
- (1–2 slides) Describes what would have been different about you without some of the cultural influences
