The Rivera family’s rich culture

Start with an attention getter/hook. You will begin by introducing the video. Then include a
purpose statement or thesis that explains the analysis that includes the terms you are using in
your analysis. Then you will include a transition sentence that leads into your analysis.
Body
You will include 5 body paragraphs, each with an example of communication in the video that
relates to interpersonal communication. Please highlight, bold, or italicize the concepts. You
must include examples when evaluating the event. I want to know what happened specifically.
You will describe what the concept means, what you saw in the movie that displayed this
concept, then relate this to your life.
For example (Coco):
“The Rivera family’s rich culture is the strongest part of Miguel’s character. Miguel disclosed to
the mariachi that he was a musician, but had never told his family, because they do not like
music. This relates to the concept collectivism. Collectivism is when culturally, people come
together and work for the greater good within the community. Originally, Miguel did not want
to disclose his desire to become a musician with his family, because he was worried about
disrupting the family culture. This shows that Miguel and his family are collectivistic. My family
is also collectivistic. When I chose to go to college, it had a lot to do with my family’s
expectations of me, and my role within my family. Collectivism can relate to context.”
Please include transition statements between paragraphs (the last sentence is an example of a
transition statement).
Conclusion
Finally, the paper should end with a brief conclusion paragraph (with a recap) including what
you learned about interpersonal communication by watching this video.
Type a 2-page thoughtful analysis. Papers must 12-point font, Times New Roman/Arial/Verdana
(something readable), double spaced, and 1-inch margins (including 0.0” Before and After). I
will not accept papers through e-mail. Papers must be carefully edited for grammatical errors.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I look forward to reading these.
