expository essay explaining how these cultural groups influence your communication with those who may be outside of your co-cultures

For this Assignment, you will create your own list of co-cultures with which you identify and then write an expository essay explaining how these cultural groups influence your communication with those who may be outside of your co-cultures.
To begin your Assignment, think about the co-cultures with which you identify. Review pages 79–84 of the text in which the authors explains the significance of co-cultural identity.
As you think about your co-cultures, think about the following questions:
•    To how many cultural groups do you relate?
•    Does one take prominence in terms of personal importance?
•    Would you be comfortable limiting yourself to only one co-culture?
•    Why or why not?
How we describe ourselves and the groups that we identify with is a significant aspect of understanding intercultural communication since we do not belong to just one cultural group. It is also important to note that culture is not just a racial or ethnic designation.
Once you have identified your co-cultures, you can begin writing your expository essay explaining how these cultural groups influence your communication with those who may be outside of your co-cultures. Your essay must include the following:
1.    List the co-cultures you identify with and would use to describe yourself.
2.    Explain which co-culture is the dominant one; the one you would use to describe yourself the most.
3.    Explain why you would or would not be comfortable limiting yourself to one co-culture as a description.
4.    Briefly explain how these co-cultures might influence your communication with those outside of your co-cultures.
Assignment Guidelines Each essay should include:
•    A title page
•    The body of the essay (900–1200 words; the word count does not include the title or reference page)
•    A reference page
•    Use standard margins: 1? on all sides
•    Use standard 12-point font size, Times New Roman or Arial
