HUM 100 Relationship Between Human Creative Expression and Culture Worksheet
Complete this worksheet by replacing the bracketed text with the relevant information. There are two
parts to the worksheet, with the second part including a short-answer question. Be sure to reach out to
your instructor if you have any questions.
Part 1
The resources in this module are examples of artifacts that have helped create new attitudes toward
women and the LGBTQ community while at the same time being influenced by society’s changing views.
Use these examples and the information presented in the overview to complete the first table on this
week’s worksheet:
1.
In the first column, provide an example of a contemporary artifact that either helps create change in
the way women or LGBTQ people are perceived, or has been influenced by society’s changing views
of women and LGBTQ members.
2.
In the second column, state in two to three sentences the reason you selected this artifact.
An example of an artifact that may have changed the perception of women is the novel
The Hunger
Games
and its film adaptation, featuring the strong lead female character Katniss. An example of an
artifact that may help shape society’s views of LGBTQ individuals is the TV show
Modern Family,
featuring Mitch and Cam, a gay couple.
Artifact
Reason
Wonder Woman
Movies, Tv Series, Comics
Wonder Woman shows a strong female lead
character. She fights for women’s rights and is all
about women being able to do whatever they set
their minds too.
Part 2
Review the article
Making Asian American Women Visible: The Joy Luck Club
and complete the second
table using information provided in this activity.
1.
In the first column, identify an example from the article demonstrating how Tan’s novel reflects
the experience of a particular ethnic group.
3.
In the second column, find an example in the article that appears to be part of universal human
experience and not limited to Chinese American culture.
Based on the description in the article, what influence might Tan’s novel, and similar artifacts, have on
broader American culture? Can you think of another artifact that has had a similar impact?
Ethnic Group Example
Universal Human Experience Example
“Many Asian American women continue to be
punished by the expectations and rules placed
on them by our society. Examples of such
experiences appear throughout the novel. For
instance, An-mei’s mother was raped. To
preserve her honor she had to marry the rapist;
however a Chinese man may marry any number
of concubines without suffering dishonor.”
(Grace Ji-Sun Kim)
“Stories like Lindo’s emphasize that a woman’s
life matters.
It reminds us that women do not
have to succumb to patriarchy and fear.
Women
can break open from their confining pasts and
soar into empowering futures.
They do not have
to be bound by patriarchal cultural expectations
and can redefine and remake their own lives.
Lindo shows that even thousands of years of
patriarchy and domination cannot hold a
woman’s dream down and confine her to her
home.
Instead, women have come a long way to
freedom and women will continue to be liberated
from within.” (Grace Ji-Sun Kim)

In one to two sentences, answer the following question:
Based on the description in the article “Making Asian American Women Visible: The Joy Luck
Club,” what influence might Tan’s novel, and similar artifacts, have on broader American culture?
Can you think of another artifact that has had a similar impact?
Tan’s novel and other artifacts that show the struggle of other cultures should have a positive
influence on American culture.
It helps show the struggles of other cultures and helps us connect with
other people from other walks of life. Another artifact similar to this would be the book “Unorthodox:
The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots” by Deborah Feldman.
