1 -2 pages (at least one FULL page of text… that means every line that will fit)
More than 200 countries have been affected by COVID-19. While this is extremely Discuss on the unfortunate and terrifying, this is also an opportunity for cultural psychologists to see how different parts of the world
are responding to this situation. Cultural, social, and historical backgrounds can affect how countries are responding to COVID-19.
Goal of Assignment:
The goal of this assignment is to select ONE non-U.S. country with cases of COVID-19 and find information online about how the country is dealing with or responding to COVID-19. Use the link here
(https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus ) to start your search of how countries are handling the pandemic.
Then, make an assessment about whether there is anything you can note about the culture of the country (e.g., values, norms, practices, behaviors, etc.) that may have contributed to the spread or control of COVID-19. For this part of the assignment (tying in aspects of the culture of the country selected) you will need to do a little background research on the country you have selected. Be sure to
use reputable online resources and provide a list of references on a separate page. Any aspect of the culture is worth thinking critically about and analyzing how it may impact their practices related to
COVID-19.
