| Abstract | One of the problems one encounters in attempting to learn about another culture is the possible distortion brought about by one's own cultural biases. The overall purpose of this unit is to help students understand perceptions: how they can differ and how cultural biases are acquired and transmitted. Indian culture is an appropriate vehicle for this examination because it is a culture little known in U.S. society and a country with which many in the United States anticipate closer ties. The lesson's seven objectives are to enable students to: (1) understand the concept of perception; (2) become aware of cultural biases; (3) understand how cultural biases are transmitted; (4) compare common perceptions of India about the United States and the United States about Indians; (5) understand the perception of India transmitted throughout U.S. culture by the mass media; (6) understand that the U.S. and India share common values; and (7) gain exposure to a realistic view of contemporary Indian life. Six class activities are outlined concerning or involving: (1) visual perception; (2) Indian perceptions of people in the United States; (3) perception and the mass media; (4) proverbs, quotes: another way of perceiving culture; (5) views of contemporary India (through film, video, or slides); and (6) an essay exercise.
